An apparatus includes a disposable assembly and a reusable assembly. The disposable assembly includes a fluid input port, a fluid output port, and a tube configured to provide fluid communication between the fluid input port and the fluid output port. The reusable assembly includes a housing, a fluid management assembly that is configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a sensing assembly. The fluid management assembly is configured to prevent fluid from traveling past the tube to the fluid output port in the closed position. The sensing assembly is configured to sense fluid accumulating within the tube while the fluid management assembly is in the closed position. The sensing assembly is also configured to drive the fluid management assembly from the closed position to the open position when the sensing assembly detects fluid within the tube at a predetermined range.

Fluid output measurement device and method

A body composition analyzer provides the resistive and reactive components of a body's measure impedance as well as body fat information and ideal weight information. The analyzer includes an analog circuit under the control of a microprocessor for providing signals to the microprocessor that are representative of the voltage across the network formed by the body and of the voltage across a reference network of known impedance that is connected in series with the body network. The microprocessor calculates the body networks impedance as a function of the ratio of the body network voltage and reference network voltage signals to provide extremely accurate results. The body composition analyzer is a hand-held unit that can transmit data to a peripheral device for recording via a wireless communication network. The analyzer is further programmable so that various algorithms and constants stored therein can be updated.
