Claim 0:
1. 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 via a first path a first light across the fluid testing chamber, and (2) a first optical detector configured to measure an intensity of the first light as the first light exits the fluid testing chamber; and
a second optical sensor disposed within the body and including (1) a second emitter configured to convey via a second path a second light across the fluid testing chamber, and (2) a second optical detector configured to measure an intensity of the second light as the second light exits the fluid testing chamber, the first path and the second path being independent,
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.
