Embodiment Construction

[0023] Embodiments of the presently disclosed fluid collection system will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate like or corresponding elements in each of the several aforementioned figures:

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1 , fluid collection system 10 includes fluid collection bag 12 , drain tube 14 , sampling port 16 connected to first end 14 a of drain tube 14 , and drain valve 18 . The collection bag 12 has at least one vent 20 for allowing air to pass in and out of the collection bag 12 . The anti-reflux valve 22 is disposed at the second end 14b of the drainage tube 14 . Anti-reflux valve 22 allows fluid to flow from drain tube 14 into collection bag 12 , but restricts fluid flow from collection bag 12 back into drain tube 14 . The anti-reflux valve 22 may be secured directly to the collection bag 12 using known securing techniques such as welding, adhesives, and the like.

Abstract

A urine collection system adapted to be connected to a urinary catheter includes a drain tube and a collection bag. The collection bag has an inlet port and outlet port. The drain tube is positioned to communicate fluid from the catheter to the inlet port of the collection bag. A sampling port is provided which is in fluid communication with the drain tube upstream of the collection bag. In one embodiment, the sampling port is adapted to engage a slip-tip or luer lock type syringe. In another embodiment, the sampling port includes a flexible pierceable member. The urine collection system may also include an in-line vent positioned upstream of the collection bag. The collection system includes a support member including vertically spaced mounting structures which are securable to the collection bag to facilitate mounting of the collection bag to a support structure at one of two vertically spaced positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to fluid collection systems. More specifically, the present invention relates to fluid collection systems that include improved venting structures and means for obtaining fresh fluid samples from the system without contaminating the fluid in the system, or posing a risk of injury to medical personnel. Background of the invention [0002] Urine collection systems for collecting urine from an intubated patient are known in the art. Such systems typically include a drainage tube having a first end connected to a urinary catheter of the intubated patient and a second end connected to a urine collection bag. The urine collection bag includes a drain for draining fluid from the bag. [0003] It is sometimes desirable to access fluids in the above systems in a fluid collection system to obtain samples for experimental analysis. In known collection systems, the sample is drawn using a syringe or hypodermic needle inse...
