  • Publication number: 20230248564
    Abstract: An example fluid collection assembly (100) includes a sheath (102) and a base (104). The sheath includes a fluid impermeable barrier (106) formed from at least a first panel (108) and a second panel (110). The first panel and the second panel at least partially define a chamber (112) therebetween. The fluid impermeable barrier also defines a fluid outlet (118) at a distal end of the sheath and an opening (114) at a proximal end of the sheath. The sheath also includes at least one porous material (122) disposed in the chamber. The base is permanently secured or configured to be permanently secured to the sheath. The base defines an aperture (124) that is aligned with the opening when the base is permanently attached to the sheath. The base is configured to be secured to a region about a penis of an individual with the aperture positioned over the penis.

  • Publication number: 20220287604
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure describe a diversion device that traps an initial flow of blood in a diversion chamber of the diversion device. The diversion device comprises a housing having an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit; a diversion chamber that comprises a flow path defined by a channel or series of channels that terminate in a diversion chamber valve; a collected sample valve; and bypass flow chamber positioned within the housing, wherein the collected sample valve is configured to permit subsequent flow of fluid to enter the bypass flow chamber, and the bypass flow chamber is configured to permit the subsequent flow of fluid to exit the diversion device. The diversion chamber valve allows air, but not blood, to flow through it.
