- the present invention relates to vacuum operated bottles used in hospitals and the like, which bottles are used for collecting body fluid such as blood from a patent during or after surgery.
- the bottle construction of the present nature is particularly suited for collecting and measuring with a high degree of accuracy, small amounts of aspirated body fluid from all types of patients, and especially infants, where the same is taken during instances of pediatric surgery.
- a principal object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved vacuum operated body fluid collection bottle.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a new and improved body fluid collection having a selectively removable container insert, such insert being designed to receive small amounts of fluid introduced into the bottle construction.
- An additional object is to provide for a body fluid collection bottle an insert comprising a calibrated container and flange, the flange being designed for support by the interior of the bottle construction concerned.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a bottle construction having an outside container and an interiorly disposed, selectively removeable inside container, both containers being calibrated such that if only the inside container is used, body fluid collected therein can accurately be measured, whereas if there is overflow, or if the insert is previously removed, then additional accurate respective readings can be taken.
- An additional object is to provide a body fluid collection bottle having an anti-splash device useable as an introduction means leading into the fine-measurement portion of the container, and also to prevent blood or other body fluid from foaming at the bottom of the bottle construction, such anti-splash device being spaced from the lid of the bottle construction to provide for reduced pressure conditions at the fluid inlet.
- An additional object is to provide a bottle construction having an interior container wherein reduced pressure conditions can be maintained both within and outside of the interior container when disposed within the bottle.
- FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a body fluid collection bottle constructed in accordance with principles of the present invention, and illustrates one embodiment thereof.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the construction shown in FIG. 1, the anti-splash device being illustrated in fragmentary view.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the interior container member of the bottle construction in a second embodiment thereof.
- the container is provided with an enlarged, cylindrical, upper margin 11 defining an upwardly facing, interior shoulder l2,at transverse offset T.
- a downwardly facing shoulder S is likewise formed thereby.
- a bead 13 is likewise provided, which bead snaps into bead recess 14 associated with the lip 15 of lid 16.
- Lid 16 is provided with fluid inlet port 17 and vacuum port 18, both of which proceed completely through the generally horizontal configuration of the lid so that their opposite extremities appear on opposite sides of the lid, as indicated.
- the upper extremities of fluid inlet port 17 and vacuum port 18 are tapered in the usual manner to accommodate a pressed or other fitting thereto of fluid inlet conduit 19 and vacuum conduit 20 in the customary manner.
- Conduit 19 and 20 provide communication by openings 21' and 22 into the interior 23 of container 10.
- the lid is designed so as to effect a vacuum seal between the groove surface of groove 14 and the surface of bead 13, so that upon the application of reduced pressure, as by means of a vacuum pump relative to vacuum conduit 20, then an area of reduced pressure will be present inside the container at 23 so as to cause aspirated body fluid to proceed from the operating area of the patient through inlet conduit 19, downwardly through opening 21 into the interior 23 of the container 10.
- a vacuum pump relative to vacuum conduit 20
- an area of reduced pressure will be present inside the container at 23 so as to cause aspirated body fluid to proceed from the operating area of the patient through inlet conduit 19, downwardly through opening 21 into the interior 23 of the container 10.
- the connection of the vacuum pump to vacuum conduit 20 and also the end fitting fluid inlet conduit 19 at the patients operative area are not shown.
- the open container graduations 23' will be utilized to rea the amount of fluid collected by the container 10. These graduations, if desired, can be made in increments of 25 cc up to a fluid level of 500 cc, and thereafter in graduation spacings of cc.
- a vacuum produced via vacuum conduit 20 will cause aspirated body fluid to proceed up the inlet fluid conduit 19 from the patient area and advance through the lid 16 into the interior 23 of container 10.
- a very thin-walled, flexible plastic casing or tube 24 through which the body fluid proceeds. This is to prevent a foaming of body fluid at the bottom area of the container, so as to facilitate correct reading of the contents of the container at all times during the operation period.
- Casing 24 is accommodated as to placement by prongs and 26, see FIG. 2, which prongs include integral spacer bosses 27 and 28.
- spacer bosses The purpose for these spacer bosses is to delimit the upward advance of casing 24, so that a space 29 is maintained over the column of fluid rising upwardly in casing 24. This preserves the evacuated condition proximate the end of opening 21 relative to fluid inlet port 17 so as to insure proper operation of the device, including the precluding of siphoning-back to the patient area.
- a heat weld may be performed at one or all of the prongs 25, 26 and fluid inlet port 27 to ensure that the casing 24 retains its spacing (29) from the lid and serves as an anti-splash element.
- the inner member 21 is provided.
- the same includes inner container 30 provided with pediatric or fine graduations 31. These are preferably of the order of from 5 cc to 200 cc, in 5 cc increments.
- the inner container 30 of inner member 21 (in FIG. 2) is shown to be provided with an overflow aperture 32.
- the overflow aperture may take the form of a slit, as seen in FIG. 2, the bottom 33 of which is aligned with the 200 cc marking at 34. Accordingly, any blood or body fluid proceeding upwardly will immediately spill over the bottom edge 33 into the area outside of inner container 30 but yet within the over-all container.
- the graduated cylinder 35 a bottom disk 36 cemented to the same, or otherwise made integral therewith, so as to provide a bottom-enclosed container.
- the inner member 21 also preferably includes an upper portion, here a flange 37 preferably provided with thumb-and-finger apertures 38 and also, insertalignment, keying notches A registering with outer container protrusions B, and, in addition, access aperture 39 to accommodate selective insertion therethrough of the lower portion 40 of vacuum port 18.
- a flange 37 preferably provided with thumb-and-finger apertures 38 and also, insertalignment, keying notches A registering with outer container protrusions B, and, in addition, access aperture 39 to accommodate selective insertion therethrough of the lower portion 40 of vacuum port 18.
- the access opening 39 may not be needed since air can be exhausted through the thumband-finger apertures.
- the inner container 30 is merely pressed into annular opening 41.
- the same may be glued into place, of course, or the entire unit may be molded as an integral part, relative to inner member 21.
- FIG. 3 An alternate form of an inner member 21 is shown in FIG. 3 wherein the inner member 22 is at this time provided with an inner container 43, similar to inner container 30 in FIG. 2.
- Inner container 43 is closed at the bottom either by an independent disk 36 or otherwise,
- a flange 46 is provided with the thumb-and-finger apertures 47, access opeing 48, and press-fit aperture 41' corresponding to apertures 38, 39, and 41 in FIG. 2.
- the flange 46 likewise includes mutually spaced openings 49-51 which serve as overflow openingsrelative to body fluid proceeding upwardly relative to the container so as to spill over the edges E forming indentations 45, through the openings 49-51 into the interior 23 of the over-all large container 10.
- the container of the present invention with its accompanying insert or inner member, is very versatile in use for afiording both reception and also accurate measurement of very small or even relatively large collections of blood or other body fluid from a patient.
- the construction supplies a means for ascertaining an accurate reading of body fluid in pediatric quantities, whereas the two sets of graduations 23' and 55 of the outer container 10 provide for both open container fluid measurement and also an insert-provided container as to measurement for overflow conditions.
