A test strip ejector system for receiving and ejecting a test strip of a fluid testing medical device, the system comprising: a strip connector including first and second guide rails (38, 40), and first and second divider walls (72, 73) between the first and second guide rails (38, 40), each of the first and second divider walls (72, 73) having a channel; a sled (34; 120) having parallel first and second legs (80, 82) connected to a cross member (84; 134), each of the legs having a contact leg (94, 96), the first and second legs (80, 82) when positioned in an orientation parallel to the first and second guide rails (38, 40) having the contact leg (94, 96) of each of the first and second legs (80, 82) captured in the channel of one of the first or second divider walls (72, 73) acting to retain the sled (34; 120) in sliding continuous contact with the first and second guide rails (38, 40) for sled (34; 120) motion in each of a loading direction and an ejection direction; and a mechanism assembly movably connected to the fluid testing device, the cross member (84; 134) of the sled (34; 120) coupled to the mechanism assembly such that operation of the mechanism assembly in a first direction displaces the sled (34; 120) in the loading direction to position the sled (34; 120) in a test strip test position, and opposite operation of the mechanism assembly in a second direction displaces the sled (34; 120) in the ejection direction away from the test strip test position and to position the contact legs (94, 96) in direct contact with the test strip to eject the test strip from the fluid testing device by sled (34; 120) travel toward a test strip ejection position; - wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a chamfered end (98, 100) of the first and second legs (80, 82), or - wherein the cross member (84; 134) is received in a cavity between the first and second guide rails (38, 40) and wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a free end of the first and second legs (80, 82). a strip connector including first and second guide rails (38, 40), and first and second divider walls (72, 73) between the first and second guide rails (38, 40), each of the first and second divider walls (72, 73) having a channel; a sled (34; 120) having parallel first and second legs (80, 82) connected to a cross member (84; 134), each of the legs having a contact leg (94, 96), the first and second legs (80, 82) when positioned in an orientation parallel to the first and second guide rails (38, 40) having the contact leg (94, 96) of each of the first and second legs (80, 82) captured in the channel of one of the first or second divider walls (72, 73) acting to retain the sled (34; 120) in sliding continuous contact with the first and second guide rails (38, 40) for sled (34; 120) motion in each of a loading direction and an ejection direction; and a mechanism assembly movably connected to the fluid testing device, the cross member (84; 134) of the sled (34; 120) coupled to the mechanism assembly such that operation of the mechanism assembly in a first direction displaces the sled (34; 120) in the loading direction to position the sled (34; 120) in a test strip test position, and opposite operation of the mechanism assembly in a second direction displaces the sled (34; 120) in the ejection direction away from the test strip test position and to position the contact legs (94, 96) in direct contact with the test strip to eject the test strip from the fluid testing device by sled (34; 120) travel toward a test strip ejection position; - wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a chamfered end (98, 100) of the first and second legs (80, 82), or - wherein the cross member (84; 134) is received in a cavity between the first and second guide rails (38, 40) and wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a free end of the first and second legs (80, 82). - wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a chamfered end (98, 100) of the first and second legs (80, 82), or - wherein the cross member (84; 134) is received in a cavity between the first and second guide rails (38, 40) and wherein the contact legs (94, 96) each extend inwardly from a free end of the first and second legs (80, 82).
