Abstract: A disposable diagnostic device includes a body having a first channel and a second channel spaced from the first channel. A shroud is operably fixed to the body and encloses a chamber which is configured in a hermetically sealed-off relation from the first and second channels when the device is in a non-activated first state and is in open communication with at least one of the first and second channels when the device is in an activated second state. A reactant and an inert gas are disposed in the chamber such that the inert gas protects the reactant from being exposed to contaminants when the device is in said non-activated first state. A method of constructing a disposable diagnostic device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A vaginal shield assembly for protecting female genitalia from urine includes a panel that has a plurality of intersecting sides such that the panel has a triangular shape for positioning over female genitalia. The panel has a urine slot extending through the panel that is aligned with a urethra when the panel is positioned over the female genitalia. In this way the urine can pass through the urine slot. The panel is comprised of a fluid impermeable material to inhibit the urine from contacting the female genitalia. In this way the panel inhibits irritation that would develop from the urine contacting the female genitalia.
