Abstract
A drug test device for bodily fluids, such as urine, includes a cup and a removable lid which houses one or more test strips. The lid is releasably locked onto the cup so as to align dipping ends of the test strips exposed through an underside of the lid with a position stabilizer, thereby causing the dipping ends to be located downwardly and submerged in fluid when the device is placed on its side in a reactive position. The position stabilizer may comprise a sidewall indentation that reduces the internal volume of the cup and keeps the cup from rolling when placed on its side.
Claims20
A fluid collection device, comprising:
- a cup defining a reservoir and comprising a sidewall having a position stabilizer, the position stabilizer configured to prevent the cup from rolling when the cup is titled to rest the stabilizer against a generally horizontal surface;
- and
- a lid removably coupled to the cup, the lid comprising a test strip and an opening accessible to the test strip, the opening located adjacent a tilt portion of a periphery of the lid;
- wherein the lid is rotatable with respect to the cup to facilitate fluid communication between the cup and the test strip, and
- wherein the lid is configured to be releasably locked in a fixed position such that the tilt portion of the periphery is aligned with the position stabilizer to direct fluid within the cup towards the opening in the lid.
A fluid collection device, comprising:
- a cup configured to hold a sample fluid;
- a position stabilizer configured to prevent the cup from rolling when the cup is tilted and resting on a generally horizontal surface, the position stabilizer comprising an indentation so as to form a pair of ridges configured to abut, at least in part, the generally horizontal surface;
- a lid removably coupled to the cup, the lid comprising a test strip and an opening accessible to the test strip,
- wherein the lid is rotatable with respect to the cup to facilitate fluid communication between the cup and the test strip when the cup is tilted.
A fluid collection device, comprising:
- a cup configured to hold a sample fluid;
- a position stabilizer configured to prevent the cup from rolling when the cup is tilted and resting on a generally horizontal surface, the position stabilizer comprising an indentation formed into a sidewall so as to form a pair of ridges;
- and
- a lid removably coupled to the cup, the lid comprising a test strip and an opening accessible to the test strip,
- wherein the lid is configured to be releasably locked into a position with respect to the cup so as to align the opening with the position stabilizer.
