If you've used all 10 uses of it, the item should auto disappear unless there's a bug.
The item, like stated by Syn, is meant to be a temporary/minimal use item in lieu of a force test. As they're a very rare item, and we'd like to keep it that way, recharging/repairing them would be counter-productive. I'm glad to see at least a few of these hit the public hands such as your case.
