ABSTRACT:
Urine specimen containers combined with a temperature sensitive member which is capable of signalling a spurious urine specimen when placed in a sufficiently close heat exchange relationship with a urine specimen. The temperature sensitive member contains portions which change color irreversibly at preselected temperatures when placed in sufficiently close heat exchange relationship with a urine specimen. The temperatures at which the irreversible color changes are made are selected slightly below normal body temperature and slightly in excess of normal body temperature such as from about 90.degree. F. to about 100.degree. F. The urine specimen collector itself includes a bowl-shaped member with an integral handle. The bowl-shaped member is contoured to fit to close proximity to the body of the user. A cover member is pivotally attached to the handle and functions as a splash guard for the user. The cover member also has a raised boss terminating in an open top to permit urination through the cover member. The opening of the raised boss in the cover member is substantially in line with a threaded connection for a collection container which is screwed onto the bottom of the bowl-shaped member. The cover member has a portion thereof spaced from a frontal portion of the bowl-shaped member to provide an overflow from the bowl-shaped member.
