Abstract

A urinometer which prints out a patient record corresponding to the flow rate measurement. One embodiment of the invention comprises a Drake urinometer unit which is modified to generate the patient record automatically. Other embodiments of the invention include components which are fabricated by a vacuum forming process to provide low cost units which are disposable after a single use. One of these embodiments prints out a patient record on photosensitive paper. Another embodiment prints out a patient record on blotting paper. Another embodiment of the invention incorporates a specimen collector and a coupling arrangement whereby the urinometer automatically discards the initially voided urine so that a mid-stream (clean catch) sample can be collected automatically.
