An improved disposable container is provided for the
collection and testing of bodily fluid samples, such as urine
specimens. The improved container includes a collection bag
sealably attached to a tubular member equipped with a lower valve
means. A protective sleeve surrounds the collection bag
and protects both the patient's hands as well as the medical
technician's hands during transport and handling of the container
once the specimen is deposited therein. The tubular member
preferably includes an upper closure means with an access hole
disposed therein. After the specimen is disposed through the
tubular member and into the collection bag, the closure means
disposed on top of the tubular member is closed and a test strip
is deposited through the access means. Then, the sleeve is
flipped upward and the open end of the sleeve is closed or sealed
thereby closing the disposable container and sealably containing
the specimen therein. The test strip and specimen may then be
examined through the clear collection bag.
Contenant jetable amélioré servant à recueillir et à analyser des échantillons de liquides corporels, notamment d'urine. Le contenant amélioré comprend un sac collecteur fixé à un tube muni au bas d'un robinet. Le sac collecteur est entouré d'un manchon de sécurité qui protège à la fois les mains du patient et celles du technicien au cours du transport et de la manipulation du contenant, une fois l'échantillon prélevé. Le tube comprend de préférence un dispositif supérieur d'obturation et une ouverture. Une fois que le prélèvement est recueilli dans le sac collecteur après être passé par le tube, le dispositif d'obturation prévu dans la partie supérieure du tube se referme et une bandelette réactive est introduite par l'ouverture. Le manchon est rabattu vers le haut et l'extrémité libre du manchon se referme, ce qui assure l'étanchéité du contenant jetable et de son contenu. La bandelette réactive et l'échantillon peuvent être examinés au travers du sac transparent.
