ABSTRACT:
A diagnostic sample packaging tray and pouch for holding a variety of commonly used sample containers, such as tube, needle and slide combinations which are required for various testing procedures in medical practice. The tray is preferably constructed of a strong transparent thermoplastic material and is provided with at least one specially configured surface designed to securely hold the same containers. The tray can be a single-piece tray or a two-piece tray. The preferred embodiment is a single-piece tray which can be folded into a closed position so that a first portion of the tray folds over a second portion of the tray, whereby the two portions of the tray are locked into position, requiring a reasonable exertion of force to reopen the tray. The tray containing the used sample containers is placed within the pouch. The pouch includes a foldable flap having means for sealing closure of its open end. The pouch wall preferably comprises a three layer composite construction including a fluid permeable interior layer, an absorbent middle layer and a fluid impermeable exterior layer.
