Claim 28:
29. A system configured to reside within a urine collection receptacle, comprising:
a body housing a fluid testing chamber, the fluid testing chamber being fluidically coupled to a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet;
a fluid capturing funnel fluidically coupled to the fluid inlet;
an attachment mechanism coupled to and extending from the body and configured to couple the body to the urine collection receptacle;
a first optical sensor disposed within the body and including (1) a first emitter configured to convey light across the fluid testing chamber, and (2) a first optical detector capable of measuring an intensity of the light as the light exits the fluid testing chamber, the first emitter being disposed adjacent a first side of the fluid testing chamber and the first optical detector being disposed adjacent a second side, opposite the first side, of the fluid testing chamber; and
a second optical sensor disposed within the body and including (1) a second emitter configured to convey light across the fluid testing chamber, and (2) a second optical detector capable of measuring an intensity of the light as the light exits the fluid testing chamber, the second emitter being disposed adjacent a third side of the fluid testing chamber, the second optical detector being disposed adjacent a fourth side, opposite the third side, of the fluid testing chamber,
the fluid testing chamber defining an internal volume through which fluid received by the fluid capturing funnel can be conveyed and tested by the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor, the fluid capturing funnel and the fluid testing chamber being collectively configured to maintain within the volume of the fluid testing chamber a volume of fluid sufficient for optical testing of the fluid.
