Problems solved by technology

Although this drainage port arrangement facilitates testing of urine that is relatively fresh, i.e., it has not been contaminated by contaminants in the urine collection bag, use of the drainage port is difficult with only one hand and may exposing healthcare workers to urine

Embodiment Construction

[0021] Embodiments of the presently disclosed urine meter 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 above several figures.

[0022] One embodiment of the presently disclosed urine meter, indicated generally at 10 , is shown in FIGS. 1-5 . The urine meter 10 includes a housing 12 and a faceplate 14 . Housing 12 and panel 14 may be formed from polyethylene terephthalate, which is a rigid, substantially transparent material, modified with ethylene glycol or PETG materials. Alternatively, other materials with similar properties may be used to form housing 12 and panel 14 . In one embodiment, the housing 12 has a width that is greater than its height and defines a first receptacle 16 and a second receptacle 18 . The first container 14 is disposed centrally in the housing 12 and is sized and designed to receive a small volume of urine. As shown, the first con...

Abstract

A urine meter is provided for use in a urine collection system. The urine meter includes a housing defining at least one fluid receptacle and having a concave upper wall having first and second ends and a central portion of reduced height. The housing defines first and second drain openings positioned adjacent respect ends of the upper wall. The housing also defines an inlet port extending through the central portion of the upper wall. A drain tube having a discharge end is positioned through the inlet port to direct fluid into the fluid receptacle. The drain tube has an internal surface having substantially no discontinuities. In one embodiment, the housing defines a centrally located first fluid receptacle and a second fluid receptacle which is positioned about the first fluid receptacle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to urine meters for use with urine collection bags or systems. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to urine meters configured to facilitate faster drainage and more accurate volumetric metering. Background of the invention [0002] Urine meters are well known and are often used in conjunction with urine collection systems for intubated patients. Typically, a urine meter is secured to the urine collection bag and receives urine from a supply tube connected to the intubated patient. Urine meters have a finite volume and include markings for measuring the volume of fluid placed therein. The urine meter is attached to a urine collection bag having a larger volume and includes at least one drainage hole provided in an upper portion of the meter, which is in fluid communication with the urine collection bag. After a predetermined period of use, the volume of urine in the urine meter can be recorded and the cont...
