Abstract
A urine-sampling system for aseptic urine sampling includes a catheter assembly and a sampling-port access device. The catheter assembly includes a urinary catheter, drainage tubing, and a connector fluidly connecting the urinary catheter to the drainage tubing. The connector includes a urine-sampling port. The sampling-port access device includes a tip at an end of a barrel configured to fluidly connect the sampling-port access device to the urine-sampling port of the catheter assembly. Each of the tip of the sampling-port access device and the urine-sampling port has a complementary fastening means for—fastening to the other of the tip of the sampling-port access device and the urine-sampling port. Each of the complementary fastening means ensures proper mating of the tip of the sampling-port access device and the urine-sampling port for aseptic urine sampling. In addition to various urine-sampling systems such as the foregoing, methods of use are also disclosed.
