Terminology

Void

containers

Containers

  • A 'container' that is used temporarily to collect a void that is added to a interval collection /(storage) container.

  • These void containers are barcoded to ensure that the right void goes with the right interval collection container for the right subject.

  • Sometimes the same void container is used in an interval, or, new void containers are used for each void. 

Interval Collection (

collection/storage

Storage)

  • These are the interval container 'jugs' that are used to store the void in (for the fridge, etc).

  • The number of needed collection containers for an interval is unknown. If a subject is voiding a lot, they may need to add several collection containers to an interval.

Info

Note

  1. Focuses on a simple urine collection interval process (e.g. does not include a 'clean catch')

  2. It's possible for there to be 0 (zero), 1 or several urine voids in an interval. Shorter intervals are unlikely to have many voids and longer intervals are unlikely to have 0 or few voids if kidney function remains unaffected and compliance is good

  3. Safety precautions and associated best practices are out of the scope of this workflow

  4. Attempts to design a process that does not require a urine monitoring log or a checker

Start Interval

Within Data Collection:

  1. Scan Start Event barcode label on pooling container to open event (or open event manually > Interval PK Start form)
