Abstract
A ring-shaped registration device for receiving and holding an activated test strip having a reagent area adapted to receive a blood sample. The registration device is slidably received on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical vial on which markings to indicate a range of possible results which might be evidenced by a blood sample. The device includes a central member having a support region for slidably receiving the activated test strip and defining a window for outlining markings on the surface of the vial and on the reagent area of the activated test strip. The reagent area is held in substantially tangential relationship relative to the outer peripheral surface of the vial so as to be selectively positioned intermediate adjacent markings on the surface of the vial. This enables the user to compare an actual blood sample with the range of possible conditions and match the sample with the markings on the vial.
