A system for automatically measuring and recording when fluid such as urine is introduced to a fluid collection container is provided. The system includes a measuring device that includes a load cell in communication with other various electronic components. The load cell is attached on one end to a fixed object like a hospital bed. At its other end, it is attached to a fluid collection container such as a urine collection bag. When fluid is introduced into the container, the load cell detects a stress change. A strain gauge (or gauges) on the load cell detects a resistance change and reads the change as a voltage change. That voltage change is amplified and digitized and converted to a weight, volume, and flow rate, before being transmitted to a recordkeeping system like electronic medical records. The system thus provides for real time measurement of fluid output collected in the container.
