  • Publication number: 20240033148
    Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. A portable urine collection system includes a urine collection device, a conduit in fluid communication with the urine collection device, a urine collection container having an interior region, a pump, and a container support configured to detachably secure to a motorized wheelchair that is adjustable between a sitting orientation and a standing orientation. The pump is configured to pull an at least partial vacuum on the interior region of the urine collection container effective to draw urine from the urine collection device through the conduit into the urine collection container when the motorized wheelchair is in each of the sitting orientation and the standing orientation. The container support is sized and dimensioned to support the urine collection container and the pump therein.

  • Publication number: 20230058553
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring urine output (UO) of a patient. The system includes a UO module configured to couple with a collection container. The UO module includes (i) a frame configured for anchoring to frame rails of a bed, (ii) a load cell configured to measure a weight of UO within the container and (iii) logic stored in memory that determines volumetric UO data from the load cell and transmits the UO data across a network to an external entity. An intermediate coupling device between the collection container and the UO module is configured to couple with the collection container and inhibit decoupling from the collection container. The intermediate coupling device includes an identification device attached thereto, identification device including patient information, and the logic links the UO data to the patient information.

  • Publication number: 20230031640
    Abstract: Examples relate to devices, systems, and methods for fluid collection such as urine. The urine collection device includes a fluid impermeable barrier and a fluid permeable body. The fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defines a chamber. The fluid impermeable barrier includes at least one elongated portion having a first width and distal to the aperture and a second portion having a second width greater than the first width. The second portion at least partially defines an opening in the fluid impermeable barrier, and the opening has a maximum lateral dimension greater than the first width of the elongated portion. The fluid permeable body is configured to wick fluid away from the opening into the at least one elongated portion.

  • Publication number: 20220362536
    Abstract: A drainage liquid sampling system is disclosed and includes a connector couplable with a drainage tube of a drainage system, the connector defining an inlet port, an outlet port, and a sample port, where the inlet port, the outlet port, and the sample port are in fluid communication with each other, and a sample container couplable with the sample port. A valve within the connector selectively allows and prevents flow of drainage liquid into the sample container. A cap couplable to the sample container also includes a valve. A system for draining liquid from a patient includes the drainage liquid sampling system.

  • Publication number: 20220280357
    Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly includes a fluid impermeable barrier at least defining a chamber, at least one opening, and a fluid outlet. The fluid collection assembly further includes at least one porous material disposed in the chamber and a tube in fluid communication with the fluid outlet, the tube including a hydrophilic material exhibiting a porous structure configured to wick fluid from the chamber without the assistance of a pump.
