ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a urine collection bag with a tilt bag indicator on the front wall thereof. The indicator comprises a clear patch or housing disposed to the side of the input conduit of the containment bag. An orifice is disposed through the front wall to provide communication between the chamber of the collection bag and the chamber defined by the transparent patch and the front wall of the bag. If the bag is tilted, urine will escape the collection bag chamber and go into the indicator chamber, and be trapped there. This will alert appropriate medical personnel that a reflux of urine up the input conduit, thus allowing whatever corrective action be taken, as necessary.
