Abstract: A patient fluid collection system is disclosed which includes a fluid collection reservoir, a cover for the reservoir, and a port on the reservoir having a scalloped upper edge. The scalloped upper edge prevents the port from being inadvertently closed off in the event that a tube valve containing a flapper valve is improperly positioned on the port.
