Abstract: The invention resides in fluid transfer device having an inverted funnel at its top and a conically downwardly tapered funnel at its bottom with a collecting portion formed about generally its midspan. The upper inverted funnel has a longitudinal slot formed therewithin and an opening is formed in the collecting portion allowing fluid to pass between the upper container and the lowermost container and the slot allows the upper inverted funnel to be circumferentially compressed against the interior surface of a container so as to act as a fluid conduit therebetween.

Abstract: A washing guard for a bed pan provides a means for deflecting splash back and aerosolized particulates from readily passing onto health care workers and/or other patients thereby exposing them to a potential hazard and/or contamination by the particulates and/or splashed effluent coming to rest or splashing onto the worker. The washing guard is further provided with a means for allowing it to be readily attached to a bed pan and includes a means for grasping and holding it in a vertical oriented orientation such that the health care worker is free to use his or her free hand to wash the bed pan with a spray jet while assembled to the washing guard.
