ABSTRACT:
A serial urine sample collection device for use in monitoring the color and clarity of successive samples from a patient recovering from surgery includes a unitary container having a plurality of separate serially arranged compartments each having a transparent face. Each compartment is filled by pouring the urine from a single voiding into a top opening and draining any excess through a valve-controlled outlet in the bottom of the compartment to a main storage reservoir disposed below. Visual indicators of various types are provided to help maintain the samples in the compartments in proper chronological sequence so that improvement in color and clarity of the urine with time may be visually monitored. The device improves the accuracy, safety, and convenience of the monitoring procedure, while minimizing sample handling and improving the hygenic nature of the procedure.
