Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a urine sample collection device.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a urine sample collection device 1 based on the disclosure of this earlier patent application.
  • the device has a urine receptor generally identified by reference numeral 2 .
  • This comprises a surface 7 which defines at one end an outlet aperture 3 and which flares out to define at its other end a rim 8 forming a perimeter of an inlet area into which a user urinates.
  • the various forms of the receptor are described in more detail in the aforementioned patent application.
  • the outlet aperture is coupled to one end of a generally elongate hollow tubular member or pipe portion 4 .
  • the other end of the tubular member is open.
  • the tubular member 4 narrows along its length and the end remote from the outlet aperture 3 defines a generally oblong excess outlet aperture 6 .
  • a sample container coupling 5 comprises a short hollow stub like tube which is formed with a passage therethrough which meets an opening in the centre of the side of the tubular member.
  • the sample container coupling 5 is located along the tubular member 4 to be spaced from the outlet aperture 3 .
  • the sample container coupling is formed to provide a push fit for a standard urine sample collection container or bottle (not shown).
  • the sample container coupling 5 is located and formed such that the sample container is orientated vertically downwards during use.
  • a standard tubular urine sample collection container (not shown) is pushed onto the sample container coupling 5 .
  • a female user locates the receptor 2 against their body to cover the urethra as explained more fully in the aforementioned patent application.
  • a male user locates the end of their penis into the receptor.
  • the urine flows through the device and out of the excess outlet aperture with a proportion of that urine flow being collected in the collection container via sample container coupling 5 .
  • This through flow type of device differs from devices where all the urine flow is directed straight into a collection container.
  • a urine sample collection device comprising:
  • MSU mid stream urine
  • the flow director of the present invention can be used to direct urine which is not from the midstream towards the open end of the tubular member and direct midstream urine into the urine collection container.
  • flared out we mean any shape which changes from a narrow shape to a broad shape.
  • the flow director comprises a projection towards the axis of the tubular member.
  • the projection is provided upstream of the opening. This projection can be used to divert the flow of the urine away from the opening.
  • the projection is also formed downstream of the opening.
  • the projection upstream of the opening has an inclined surface.
  • the projection upstream of the opening comprises a wall which extends across the tubular member to an extent corresponding to the upstream edge of said opening.
  • the flow director is formed to channel the urine flow along either side of the aperture.
  • the projection towards the axis of the tubular member may comprise a passage of the coupling means, the passage extending into the tubular member and presenting an area within the tubular member into which urine can enter and flow into the collection container.
  • the area does not have to be in the same plane as the walls of the elongate tubular member.
  • the passage of the coupling means extends into the tubular member by an amount corresponding to between 20 and 60% of the height of the tubular member.
  • the area conveniently comprises a semi-circle, and the extension of the passage into the tubular member is greater downstream than upstream.
  • the coupling means preferably includes a further passage extending therethrough which meets said opening to present an area from which air in the collection container can escape into the tubular member.
  • the further passage of the coupling means preferably extends into the tubular member by an amount which is greater than the urine passage.
  • an opening of the further passage in the tubular member faces downstream.
  • the opening in the further passage is at an incline facing downstream.
  • the body has evolved such that urine traveling out of the body travels in a spiral configuration in order to reduce the amount spraying. As the urine travels down the elongate tubular member in a spiral configuration it can cause an air lock in the further passage. As will be appreciated, the air lock stops the urine flowing into the urine collection container. If the opening of the passage faces downstream, is at an incline or there is a cover provided to deflect the urine away from the opening then the likelihood of an air lock being produced is reduced.
  • tubular member tapers to a smaller cross-section at said open end. Accordingly, the urine which is flowing through the tubular member and past the opening in the side thereof will begin to “back-up” when sufficient urine is flowing (i.e during the midstream) and, therefore, will start to flow through the opening in the side of the tubular member and into the urine collection container.
  • the device further comprises a flow limiter, or urine collection container having a flow limiter, for limiting flow of urine into the container.
  • the flow limiter preferably allows urine to enter a container to a predetermined limit, after which further urine is prevented from entering the container. In this way, the amount of urine entering the container cannot exceed a predetermined maximum, for example beyond a fraction (e.g. from 50 to 75%) of the capacity of the container.
  • the urine and air passages extend into the container, which is fitted to the device such that substantially all fluid transfer between the tubular member and the container occurs via the said passages, in particular transfer of urine from the tubular member to the container via the urine passage and transfer of air from the container to the tubular member via the air passage.
  • air is displaced into the tubular member via the air passage.
  • the level of urine in the container rises to cover the container-side opening of the air passage, no further air can be displaced from the container into the tubular member, and hence no further urine can enter the container.
  • the amount of urine which can enter the container is thus largely determined in this embodiment by the extent to which the second passage extends into the container.
  • the flow limiter comprises a valve through which urine can flow from the tubular member into a container.
  • the valve may comprise a lower opening through which urine can pass into the container, an upper opening through which urine can enter the valve from the tubular member, and a closure member positioned between the upper and lower openings, and dimensioned so as to be capable of closing the upper opening.
  • the closure member may conveniently have a density lower than that of urine, i.e. it will float in urine, so that as the level of urine in the container rises to reach the closure member it will float upon the urine.
  • the closure member will rise with the urine, until it reaches the upper opening to form a seal therewith, thus preventing further urine from entering the container.
  • FIG. 1 shows an oblique perspective view of a known urine sample collection device
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective side view of a tubular member part of an embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 4 shows the cross-section along the line D-D of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a side view of a receptor, tubular member and coupling means parts of another embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a plan view of the urine receiving portion of FIG. 5 as viewed along the axis of the tubular member
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional side view taken along the length of the tubular member part of FIG. 5 omitting the urine receptor.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates a flow limiter for use with the urine sample collection devices shown in the previous Figures
  • FIG. 9 illustrates a further flow limiter for use with the urine sample collection devices shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 ;
  • FIG. 10 illustrates a further flow limiter for use with the urine sample collection devices shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 .
  • a through flow type of device as shown in FIG. 1 is to obtain a mid stream urine sample, it is necessary to ensure that as little as possible of the initial urine flows into the collection container.
  • the proportion of urine entering the collection container, at least during the initial flow will be a function of the area of the opening to the passage through the sample container coupling 5 , that is to say, the opening of the passage onto the tubular portion 4 , and the velocity (and hence momentum) of the urine flow upstream of the coupling.
  • the former can be designed whilst the latter will be influenced by the bladder of the user and by gravity consequent to the angle of the urine flow in the tubular portion relative to vertical.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates an oblique perspective view of a portion of a tubular member 4 ′ corresponding to the tubular member 4 shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the tubular member has a generally square cross section as shown in the drawings but is not limited thereto.
  • the tubular member has a base 20 from which a sample container coupling 5 ′ extends.
  • the sample container coupling 5 ′ has a passage therethrough which meets an opening formed in the base of the tubular member 4 ′, the opening defining a planar area 21 .
  • urine flowing down the tubular member 4 ′ can pass down into a collection container (not shown) fitted to the coupling 5 ′.
  • the flow of urine in the tubular member 4 ′ is indicated by an arrow U, substantially along the axis of the tubular member.
  • the base 20 A which is upstream of the area 21 is formed to include an inclined surface or ramp 24 which leads up to the area 21 .
  • the ramp therefore projects towards the axis of the tubular member.
  • the area 21 is substantially parallel to the surface of upstream base 20 A but is not in the same plane.
  • the central member of the base of the tubular member 4 ′ along the axis thereof defines a plateau surface 22 which is on the plane defined by the area 21 .
  • channels 23 are formed which extend either side of the area 21 to meet the base 20 which is upstream of the area 21 .
  • the base of the channels 23 is on the plane of the base 20 which is upstream of the area 21 .
  • the volume of urine entering the tubular member 4 ′ will eventually be greater than that leaving through the aperture 6 .
  • a front of fluid begins to “back up” along the tubular member.
  • the collection container will begin to fill.
  • the early part of the urine flow does not pass into the collection container so that an MSU sample is collected.
  • the present invention is capable of considerable modification, the detailed embodiments of which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • the present embodiment has been described to include channels 23 , these can be omitted such that the ramp 24 extends across the width of the base 20 if very slow urine flow is not to be considered a problem during urine collection.
  • the angle and size of ramp can be varied.
  • a ramp has been described as the flow director, a wall can be used which extends across the base 24 to an extent corresponding to the upstream edge of the area 21 such that the area is masked from the direct flow of urine along the tubular member 4 ′.
  • the wall can also be V-shaped pointing upstream so that slow moving urine is directed around the area 21 .
  • the coupling 5 ′ can be made such that it extends through the base 20 whereby its upper edge defines the area 21 which is in a plane located displaced relative to the base 20 .
  • the urine receptor 2 ′′ is substantially identical to that shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 .
  • the device has a tubular member 4 ′′ which comprises a constant circular cross-section tube, that is to say, it does not narrow between the urine receptor 2 ′′ and the excess outlet aperture 6 ′′.
  • a sample container coupling 5 ′′ is located as with FIGS. 1 to 4 .
  • the outer surface of the coupling 5 ′′ has a portion 10 at the end onto which a sample container can be attached, this portion having a circular cross-section outer surface.
  • the outer surface of the coupling 5 ′′ also has a portion 12 where the coupling meets the tubular member 4 ′′.
  • the portion 12 has a larger circumference than the portion 10 , the portions 10 and 12 meeting at an elbow 11 .
  • a passage is formed through the coupling 5 ′′ which comprises a circular cross-section tube which is split into first and second separate channels 13 and 14 having respective semi-circular cross-sections, as can be seen from FIG. 6 .
  • One end (the lower end) of the channels 13 and 14 extend equally from the lower edge of the portion 10 , as can be seen from FIG. 7 .
  • the other end (the upper end) of the channels 13 and 14 extend through the base of and into the tubular member 4 ′′.
  • the upper edge of the channel 14 extends further into the tubular member 4 ′′ than the channel 13 and is located on the side towards the outlet aperture 6 ′′ (downstream).
  • the upper edge of the channel 13 defines a semi-circular area 21 ′′ whilst the upper edge of the channel 14 defines a semi-circular area 15 .
  • the upper edge 15 has a height from the base of the tubular member 4 ′′ which is greater than “a” so that urine does not normally flow down channel 14 .
  • the height “a” is preferably in the range of 20 to 60% of the height of the tubular member 4 ′′ at the point of the coupling 5 ′′.
  • the tubular member has a diameter “d” and hence a 20-60% of d.
  • the area 21 ′′ is effectively spaced from the base or lower surface of the tubular member 4 ′′ by an a distance which provides a wall against slow flowing urine.
  • the present invention may be produced from a plastics material injected into a tool having a shaped insert to form the tubular member 4 ′.
  • the tubular insert can be a single piece that is withdrawn in the direction of the receptor 2 . If a two piece insert is used, it is possible to have the area 21 made such that it is in the plane of the base 20 but the top edge of the ramp 24 remains displaced from the plane of the base.
  • a flow limiter for use with the urine collection devices illustrated in the previous Figures comprises a valve 100 for preventing ingress of urine into a container 122 .
  • the valve 100 is positioned within the first channel 13 , described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7 , with corresponding second channel 14 for escape of displaced air into the tubular member (not shown in FIG. 8 ).
  • the valve 100 comprises an upper opening 102 , a lower opening 104 and a closure member in the form of a ball 106 .
  • the ball 106 has an overall density lower than that of urine, and will thus float on urine, and is initially maintained in position away from the lower opening 104 by an internal wall 108 so as not to block the lower opening 104 .
  • the diameter of the ball 106 is greater than that of the upper opening 102 .
  • urine will enter the valve 100 from the tubular member as indicated by arrow A, passing through and out of the valve 100 as indicated by arrow A′ into the container 122 .
  • the urine level in the container 122 will rise, and after a time will enter the valve 100 via lower opening 104 .
  • the ball 106 will float on the urine, until it reaches the upper opening 102 , i.e. urine will rise within the container 122 to the level approximately indicated by arrows B in FIG. 8 .
  • the ball 106 will then close the upper opening 102 , thus preventing further urine from entering the valve 100 , and hence the container 122 .
  • a further flow limiter which comprises first and second channels 13 and 14 , described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7 .
  • the second channel 14 extends into the container 122 by an amount which is greater than the first channel 13 .
  • the container 122 forms a fluid tight seal with the coupling 105 , i.e. urine can enter the container 122 only through first channel 13 and displaced air can only escape from the container 122 through second channel 14 .
  • urine passes into the container 122 from the tubular member (not shown in FIG.
  • the total amount of urine to be collected can thus be predetermined from the position of the lower opening of the second channel 14 within the container 122 in use, and the capacity of the first channel 13 .
  • Urine spillage on removal of the container 122 from the device can be substantially prevented by ensuring that the capacity of the container 122 above the level of the lower opening of the second channel 14 in use is greater than the capacity of the first channel 13 .
