Patent ID: 8757386

Claim:
An analyte test strip container system comprising: a container having a base, one or more sidewalls extending from the base, a cavity having an opening at a distal end and the base at the proximal end, and a cap at the distal end, wherein the cap fits over the opening to close the container and provide a sealed environment inside the container; an insert comprising a proximal end and an interior side, wherein the insert is sized to fit within the opening and to situate within the cavity such that the proximal end of the insert is adjacent the base and the interior side of the insert forms a cavity floor that varies in height with respect to a longitudinal axis extending through the base and the opening of the container; and a plurality of analyte test strips each having a distal end and a proximal end, placed inside the container, wherein the proximal end of the plurality of analyte test strips is in contact with the cavity floor, wherein the cavity floor holds at least one of the analyte test strips so that the distal end of the analyte test strip is at a different height with respect to the distal end of another analyte test strip of the plurality of analyte test strips, and wherein the plurality of analyte test strips are of the same length, wherein the distal end of the plurality of analyte test strips does not extend beyond the distal end of the cavity.
