Abstract:
A test meter for analyzing a body fluid sample applied to a test strip includes an outer housing having an opening, an actuator, and a cartridge positioned adjacent the outer housing. The cartridge further includes a dispensing member connected to the actuator, a plurality of stacked test strips biased toward the dispensing member, and a cartridge outer housing that is adjacent at least a portion of the dispensing member. Each time the actuator is actuated, the dispensing member is rotated to cause movement of one test strip from the plurality of stacked test strips through the opening, and another test strip is biased toward the dispensing member.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of dispensing a test strip for testing a body fluid sample applied thereto, the method comprising:\n moving linearly a cover portion of a cartridge for storing a plurality of stacked test strips, the plurality of stacked test strips received through an opening in the cartridge in a direction parallel to a height of the plurality of stacked test strips; and in response to linear movement of the cover portion, moving a dispensing member received within the cartridge such that a second end of the dispensing member pushes a first test strip of the plurality of stacked test strips through a strip opening in the cartridge such that at least one edge and a portion of the first test strip is exposed outside the strip opening and an opposite edge of the first test strip remains within the cartridge, the dispensing member having a first end hingedly connected inside the cartridge.
