Abstract

A urine collection system includes a urine collection device configured to collect urine discharged from a user and a urine collection container in fluid communication with the urine collection device and sized and dimensioned to receive the urine discharged from the user. The urine collection system also includes a flow meter having a communication interface and positioned between the urine collection container and the urine collection device. The flow meter is configured to detect a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine entering the urine collection container and the communication interface is configured to wirelessly communicate to a computing device at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine including the volume of the urine discharged from the user entering the urine collection container.

Claims (61)

1. A urine collection system, comprising:

a urine collection device configured to collect urine discharged from a user;

a urine collection container in fluid communication with the urine collection device and sized and dimensioned to receive the urine discharged from the user;

a flow meter having a communication interface and positioned between the urine collection container and the urine collection device, wherein the flow meter is configured to detect a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine entering the urine collection container, and the communication interface is configured to wirelessly communicate to a computing device at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine;

wherein the flow meter includes a display configured to display the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container during a selected period of time.

2. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the flow meter is configured to perform at least one of:

detecting the flow property of the urine at least related to the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container with a mechanical detector;

detecting the flow property of the urine at least related to the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container with an ultrasonic detector; or

detecting at least one of a volume, a mass, or a velocity of the urine passing the flow meter.

3. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is configured to perform at least one of:

providing the volume of the urine entering the urine collection device in real-time using the at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine communicated by the flow meter;

transmitting the at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine communicated by the flow meter to an electronic medical record system.

4. The urine collection system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first conduit in fluid communication with the urine collection device, wherein the flow meter is secured or securable to the first conduit and configured to detect the flow property of the urine passing through the first conduit before entering the urine collection container; and

a pump configured to pull a vacuum and draw the urine from the urine collection device through the first conduit and into the urine collection container.

5. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein:

the urine collection device includes a funnel-shaped urine collection device having a wide end and a narrow end; and

the flow meter is secured or securable to the narrow end of the funnel-shaped urine collection device.

6. A method of determining a volume of urine discharged by a user, the method including:

receiving the urine discharged from the user in a urine collection device;

detecting, with a flow meter, a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine discharged by the user as the urine is passed from the urine collection device to a urine collection container;

displaying, on a display of the flow meter, the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container during a selected period of time; and

wirelessly transmitting, from a communication interface of the flow meter to a computing device, at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine including the volume of the urine.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising pulling a vacuum on a first conduit in fluid communication with the urine collection device effective to draw the urine from the urine collection device through the first conduit and into the urine collection container, wherein the flow meter is secured to the first conduit and configured to detect the flow property of the urine passing through the first conduit before entering the urine collection container.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising regulating the volume of the urine passing through the flow meter.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein receiving urine discharged from the user in a urine collection device includes receiving the urine discharged from the user in the urine collection device positioned proximate to a urethra of the user.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein:

receiving urine discharged from the user in a urine collection device includes receiving the urine discharged from the user in a funnel-shaped urine collection device having a wide end and a narrow end; and

detecting, with a flow meter, a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine discharged by the user as the urine is passed from the urine collection device to a urine collection container includes detecting, with the flow meter secured to the narrow end of the funnel-shaped urine collection device, the flow property of the urine at least related to the volume of the urine discharged by the user as the urine is passed from the urine collection device to the urine collection container.

11. The method of claim 6 , further comprising providing, with the computing device, the volume of the urine entering the urine collection device in real-time using the at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine communicated by the flow meter.

12. The method of claim 6 , further comprising transmitting, with the computing device, the at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine communicated by the flow meter including the volume of the urine to an electronic medical record system.

13. The method of claim 6 , wherein detecting, with a flow meter, a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine discharged by the user includes detecting, with the flow meter, at least one of a volume, a mass, or a velocity of the urine passing the flow meter.

14. A urine collection system, comprising:

a urine collection device configured to collect urine discharged from a user;

a urine collection container in fluid communication with the urine collection device and sized and dimensioned to receive the urine discharged from the user;

a flow meter having a communication interface and positioned between the urine collection container and the urine collection device, wherein the flow meter is configured to detect a flow property of the urine at least related to a volume of the urine entering the urine collection container, and the communication interface is configured to wirelessly communicate to a computing device at least one of the detected flow property or the volume of the urine, wherein the flow meter is configured to perform at least one of:

detecting the flow property of the urine at least related to the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container with a mechanical detector;

detecting the flow property of the urine at least related to the volume of the urine entering the urine collection container with an ultrasonic detector; or

detecting at least one of a volume, a mass, or a velocity of the urine passing the flow meter.

15. The urine collection system of claim 14 , wherein the computing device is configured to perform at least one of:
