20080312550 | Multi-Functional and Modular Urine Collection System - Multi-functional urine collection devices, embodiments of which can include a self-expanding container having a receptacle for receiving urine from the tubing, a pump for moving urine through the tubing and into a receptacle, extendable tubing that may be shortened and/or lengthened, and/or one or more meters for monitoring, measuring, transmitting or storing a characteristic from the urine. Embodiments can also include a display kit having a transmitting device in the form of a cable or wireless transmitter and a display module. The display module may include an LCD and may be configured for attachment to a urine receptacle. | 12-18-2008 |
20090216206 | Waste Management System - A waste management system includes a waste transport device and a waste collection device. The waste transport device includes a collection member with a distal end opening having a first cross-sectional area and a proximal end opening having a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area, a retention cuff disposed about an outer surface of the collection member, and a first section having a lumen in fluid communication with a lumen of the collection member. | 08-27-2009 |
20090247969 | WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A waste management system includes a waste transport device, a waste collection device, and an insertion device. The waste transport device includes a collection member with a distal end opening having a first cross-sectional area and a proximal end opening having a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area, and a retention cuff disposed about an outer surface of the collection member. The insertion device is positioned about the collection member and retention cuff to retain the collection member and retention cuff in a collapsed configuration. | 10-01-2009 |
20100137743 | MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AND MODULAR URINE COLLECTION SYSTEM - Multi-functional urine collection devices, embodiments of which can include a self-expanding container having a receptacle for receiving urine from the tubing, a pump for moving urine through the tubing and into a receptacle, extendable tubing that may be shortened and/or lengthened, and/or one or more meters for monitoring, measuring, transmitting or storing a characteristic from the urine. The urine collection system may include a widened profile to permit urine to cascade from one column to the another and/or may include one or more floats to minimize meniscus errors. The floats may include active agents, may change color based on pH, and may be calibrated to indicate the specific gravity of the urine. | 06-03-2010 |
20100222754 | WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A waste management system includes a waste transport device and a waste collection device. The waste transport device may include a first connector member configured for releasable connection to a second connector member on the waste collection device. The system may also include an insertion device to facilitate insertion of the waste transport device into the rectum of a patient. | 09-02-2010 |
20110178425 | MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AND MODULAR URINE COLLECTION SYSTEM - Multi-functional urine collection devices, embodiments of which can include a self-expanding container having a receptacle for receiving urine from the tubing, a pump for moving urine through the tubing and into a receptacle, extendable tubing that may be shortened and/or lengthened, and/or one or more meters for monitoring, measuring, transmitting or storing a characteristic from the urine. | 07-21-2011 |
20130218108 | Waste Management System - A waste management system and method of use. The waste management system includes a waste transport device and a waste collection device. The waste transport device includes a generally tubular body, a distal end section configured for disposition and maintenance in a patient's rectum, and a proximal end section including a first connector biased in a sealed position. The waste collection device includes a second connector. The first connector is transitioned to an unsealed position when the first connector is secured to the second connector. | 08-22-2013 |
20140094760 | Waste Management System - A waste management system includes a waste transport device and a waste collection device. The waste transport device includes a collection member, a retention cuff disposed about an outer surface of the collection member, a first connector, and a proximal end opening biased in a sealed position. The waste collection device includes a second connector and an opening biased in a sealed position. Securing the first connector to the second connector enables transitioning the proximal end opening of the waste transport device and the waste collection device opening to unsealed positions. | 04-03-2014 |
