Terminology

Void containers

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

  • These void containers are barcoded to ensure that the right void goes with the right collection 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/storage) containers

  • 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

Data Collection

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

  1. Scan subject wristband

    • Container is confirmed to belong to the subject for that collection interval

    • Document start date/time of interval

  1. Store container for use within the interval

Urine Void in Interval

Info

Note

A urinal has been used in the following examples, but may just as easily and interchangeably show a hat.

  • Scan barcode on container

  • Scan urinal or hat as applicable 

Info

Weight

Sometimes weight is required for each void but not always 

  • Pooling container is confirmed to match the urinal for that collection interval for that subject

4

Data Collection 

Pour into

  • Pour the freshly voided urine into the pooling container

  • Place the pooling container into the fridge

6


  • Rinse and retain the urinal for the next void OR

  • A new void container is provided each time a subject voids 

7


Repeat as necessary until the end of the interval.
