A test device for testing of analyte concentration in a fluid to be applied thereto, the device comprising a plurality of test members arranged in at least one stack and electrodes for engaging with electrode tracks on a test member. A pusher pushes a single test member from the stack so that it can engage with the electrodes. An actuation member is connected to the pusher, and moves it when operated by a user. The at least one stack of test members is enclosed in a magazine which is initially sealed by a moisture impermeable seal. A cutter is provided for slitting the seal and permitting a test member to be pushed from the magazine by the pusher when the first test member from the magazine is to be used.

Test device for analyzing blood glucose or other analytes in bodily fluids

A test device for testing of analyte concentration in a fluid comprises: a housing ( ) having an opening and containing a stack of sensors ( ); a transport member ( ) rotatably mounted in the opening of the housing, having an axis of rotation which spans the opening; a spring ( ) which urges the stack against the transport member; and sealing means ( ) for making a moisture tight seal between the transport member and the sensors when the transport member is in a specified rotational position. An outer surface of the transport member has a recessed region ( ) which is adapted to receive a single sensor from the stack. Rotation of the transport member with a sensor in the recessed region transports the sensor to a location where it can be connected to a meter ( ) and receive a drop of fluid to be tested.
