An apparatus maintains the sterility of a medical device while providing for the insertion of an insertable component into the medical device. The apparatus includes a medical device having a housing sized to contain the insertable component, an active feature, a cap, and a hinge member. A container encases the medical device within a device recess, a cap recess, and a container cover. The insertable component may be inserted into the housing while limiting potential contact with the exterior of the medical device. An alternative assembly comprises an insertion assembly having a handle and the insertable component detachably attached thereto. The medical device comprises a housing, an active feature, and a flexible member. An insertion tube is insertable within the flexible member to limit contact when the insertable component is inserted into the housing. Yet another configuration includes a resiliently hinged door assembly releasable by a release button.

1. An apparatus for maintaining sterility of a medical device while providing for insertion of an insertable component into the medical device, the apparatus comprising: (a) a medical device, wherein the medical device comprises: (i) a housing, wherein the housing is sized to contain at least part of an insertable component,(ii) an active feature selectively activated or controlled by an insertable component contained in the housing,(iii) a cap, wherein the cap is sized and configured to couple to and seal the housing, wherein the cap is movable from an open position to a closed position, and(iv) a hinge member, wherein the hinge member pivotably couples the housing with the cap; and(b) a container, wherein the container comprises: (i) a device recess, wherein the device recess is sized and configured to contain the housing,(ii) a cap recess, wherein the cap recess is sized and configured to contain the cap when the cap is in the open position, and(iii) a first container cover, wherein the first container cover is sized and configured to removably cover both the device recess and the cap recess;wherein the first container cover is configured to cooperate with the container in a manner sufficient to maintain sterility of the medical device within the container. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the hinge member comprises a resilient hinge resiliently biased to urge the cap from the open position to the closed position. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the container further comprises a second container cover, wherein the second container cover is sized and configured to removably cover to the cap recess. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the medical device further comprises an elastic member, wherein the elastic member has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the elastic member is attached to a portion of the housing, and wherein the second end of the elastic member is attached to a portion of the cap. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the housing further comprises a retention feature, wherein the retention feature is configured to retain an insertable component within the housing when an insertable component is inserted therein. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the retention feature comprises a spring and a latch member. 7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the container further comprises a second container cover, wherein the second container cover is sized and configured to removably cover the cap recess. 8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the elastic member is made of a material selected from a group consisting of silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM), nitrile rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, chloroprene, polychloroprene, polybutadiene rubber, or isoprene rubber. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first container cover has a first end and a second end, wherein the first container cover further comprises a pull tab having a first and second end, wherein the first end of the pull tab is attached to the second end of the first container cover, wherein the second end of the pull tab is attached to a portion of the cap. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container further comprises a second container cover, wherein the second container cover is sized and configured to removably attach to the cap recess, wherein the second container cover has a first end and a second end, wherein the second container cover further comprises a pull tab having a first and second end, wherein the first end of the pull tab is attached to the second end of the second container cover, wherein the second end of the pull tab is attached to a portion of the cap. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the pull tab is adhesively attached to both the second container cover and the cap. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the cap comprises a resilient member, wherein the housing comprises a recess sized and configured to receive the resilient member, and wherein the cap is detachably attached to the housing when the resilient member is inserted into the recess. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the insertable component comprises a power source. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first container cover is adhesively attached to the container. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container comprises a blister tray, wherein the blister tray is formed of a single homogeneous continuum of material.
