Claim 23:
24. A system configured to reside within a urine collection receptacle, comprising:
a body housing a fluid testing chamber;
an attachment mechanism coupled to and extending from the body and configured to couple the body to the urine collection receptacle;
a fluid capturing funnel fluidically coupled to an inlet-side of the fluid testing chamber such that fluid received in the fluid capturing funnel travels from the fluid capturing funnel to the fluid testing chamber when the body is coupled to the urine collection receptacle with the fluid capturing funnel disposed above the fluid testing chamber;
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 second optical detector capable of measuring an intensity of the light as the light exits 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 configured to measure an intensity of the second light as the second light exits the fluid testing chamber,, the first emitter and the first optical detector being laterally displaced by a first distance, and the second emitter and the second optical detector being laterally displaced by a second distance, the first distance being different from the second distance,, the fluid capturing funnel and the fluid testing chamber collectively configured such that the fluid testing chamber is fully occupied with the fluid for a period of time sufficient for the light to be conveyed from the first emitter and the second emitter, through the fluid, and to the first optical detector and the second optical detector.
