Abstract:

A housing for a testing device formed to facilitate ergonomic and/or easy and stable gripping, particularly during specimen-collection. The housing is particularly suitable for use in a self-testing device. Various features may be provided in accordance with the principles of the present invention to achieve the ergonomic and/or easy and stable gripping. For instance, the gripping end of the housing is angled so that a user may readily hold the testing device to collect a specimen without soiling herself. Additionally, or alternatively, the housing may be proportioned to have lateral side surfaces with sufficient surface area to permit gripping of the housing not only on the top and bottom surfaces (as in typical testing devices), but also on only the lateral side surfaces. Additionally, or alternatively, the lateral side surfaces of at least the gripping section of the housing and/or the lateral side surfaces of the cap may be provided with surface texturing to enhance stable gripping.
