ABSTRACT:
A urine sampling device includes a urine collection vessel having an open end. A cap member seals the vessel open end. The cap member includes a vent to allow air displacement during fluid sampling. A connector element including a hollow piercing element is in fluid communication with the cap member. The urine sampling device is useable in combination with a urine drainage and collection device including a source tube having inlet and outlet ends for receiving and communicating urine. The source tube includes a pierceable connector for receiving the piercing element and is disposed between the source tube inlet and outlet ends. A fluid metering device including an inlet and an outlet is connected to the source tube outlet allowing gravitational fluid flow from the source tube into the metering device. A valve disposed between the pierceable connector and fluid metering device controls the gravitational fluid flow into the metering device. A receptacle in serial gravitational fluid communication with the fluid metering device outlet receives fluid from the metering device.
