ABSTRACT:
A urine metering and collection system is disclosed which includes a relatively stiff integral head member having a volume calibrated chamber with sidewalls continuously converging downwardly towards each other such that each horizontal section of the chamber has a smaller volume per unit of height than does the next adjacent upper horizontal section throughout a major portion of the length of the chamber, an outlet passageway adjacent the bottom of the chamber, an inlet passageway adjacent the top of the chamber, an overflow passageway having one end in fluid-flow communication with the top of the chamber and an air vent communicating with the chamber; a collection bag fixedly secured to the head member below the chamber and in flow communication with the outlet overflow passageway, which also serves as a vent for the bag, and including an opening and a drain tube; and conduit means for placing the chamber outlet passageway and the collection bag opening in flow communication, the conduit means preferably having a three position valve including one position for sampling fluid in the metering chamber.
