Abstract

A urine drainage and collection device includes a tubing set having first, second, and third tube portions. Each tube portion has a first and second end. The first end of each tube portion is connected to and in communication with the first ends of the other two tube portions. A fluid metering device is connected to the second end of the second tube portion and permits introduction of fluid from the tubing set into the metering device. A receptacle in spaced fluid communication with the fluid metering device receives fluid from the metering device. An independent sampling device is in fluid communication with the second end of the third tube portion permits collection of fluid from the tubing set for sampling. A first flow control at an intermediate location of the second tube portion controls fluid flow through the second tube portion. A second flow control at an intermediate location of the spaced fluid communication between the metering device and receptacle controls fluid outflow from the metering device. A third flow control at an intermediate location of the of third tube portion controls fluid flow through the third tube portion, whereby fluid flow is selectively controllable for metering, draining and sampling fresh urine.
