The present disclosure relates to diagnostic test devices that provide improved communication to a user of one or both of proper functioning of the test device and an analog test result that is provided by the test device. The diagnostic test devices particularly can include one or more sensors effective to indicate application of a sufficient volume of a test fluid and/or can include one or more light sources positioned to illuminate an analog test result for improved visibility and understanding of the analog test result.

Device housing

The present disclosure provides applicators adapted to or configured to deliver a product therefrom. The applicators can be particularly designed for delivery to certain body parts of the human body, such as to the vaginal area. The applicator can comprise a housing formed of a substantially continuous wall extending along a longitudinal housing axis between a base end and an application end, the substantially continuous wall defining: a base segment extending from the base end toward the applicator end; a delivery segment extending from the applicator end toward the base end; and a compression segment interconnecting the base segment and the delivery segment. The housing can define a substantially hollow interior configured for retaining a product for delivery through the delivery segment.

Peelable package

The present disclosure provides packages that are configured for containing a prophylactic device and a quantity of lubricant material. The package can include a first portion defining a first chamber containing a prophylactic device; and a second portion defining a second chamber containing a quantity of lubricant composition; wherein the first chamber of the first portion and the second chamber of the second portion are arranged to separably engage one another about external surfaces of the first portion and the second portion so as to form a unitary package. The present disclosure further provides methods for providing a lubricated prophylactic device.

Separable package

The present disclosure provides packages that are configured for containing a prophylactic device and a plurality of lubricant compositions. The package can include a primary storage compartment in which the prophylactic device can be contained and a plurality of secondary storage compartments arranged relative to the primary storage compartment, the plurality of secondary storage compartments containing lubricant composition(s). The present disclosure further provides methods for providing a lubricated prophylactic device.

Multi-chambered package

Applicator

A system for filling a chambered package includes a carrying mechanism travelling in a machine direction and having chambered recesses defined about a surface thereof, a first dispensing nozzle configured to dispense a quantity of a medium onto the surface of the carrying mechanism for direction into the chambered recesses in a first group of the chambered recesses defined about the surface of the carrying mechanism, and a first wiper blade disposed along the carrying mechanism in the machine direction after the first dispensing nozzle, the first wiper blade defining a curvilinear surface having crests configured to direct the quantity of the medium into the chambered recesses in the first group of the chambered recesses and troughs configured to direct the quantity of the medium away from entering the chambered recesses in the second group of the chambered recesses.

Front band on a spray nozzle

An apparatus for filling a chambered package can include a dispensing nozzle angled relative to a perpendicular of a machine direction of a carrying mechanism, the dispensing nozzle being disposed adjacent to the carrying mechanism having one or more chambered recess defined about a surface thereof, the dispensing nozzle being configured to dispense a quantity of the medium into the one or more chambered recess defined about the surface of the carrying mechanism. The apparatus includes a housing and at least one wiping material arranged to define an angle having a vertex toward the machine direction about a bottom surface of the housing, the angle of the at least one wiping material being configured to direct any of the quantity of the medium dispensed out of the second end of the dispensing nozzle, but not directed into the one or more chambered recess, into the one or more chambered recess.

Apparatus, system, and method for filling a chambered package

A system and a related method for forming a multi-chamber package are disclosed. The system includes a single web of a film material extending in a machine direction and defining a plurality of lateral lanes extending contiguously in a cross-machine direction, orthogonal to the machine direction. The system also includes a forming arrangement configured to interact with the web to form chambers along a second lane of the plurality of lateral lanes in the machine direction, a first filling device configured to deposit a first substance into one or more of the formed chambers of the second lane, and a first folding mechanism configured to form a fold between the lateral lanes in the machine direction such that a first lane of the plurality of lateral lanes is directed to overlie the one or more formed chambers of the second lane.
