Claim 16:
17. A system, 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 reservoir fluidically coupled to the fluid inlet;
an attachment mechanism coupled to and extending from the body and configured to couple the body to a urine collection receptacle;
a first optical sensor disposed within the body and including (1) a first emitter configured to convey light a first pathlength across a first portion of an inner volume of the fluid testing chamber when the first portion through which the first pathlength crosses contains only urine received by the fluid capturing reservoir, and (2) a first optical detector capable of measuring an intensity of the light emitted by the first emitter as the light exits the inner volume of the fluid testing chamber;
a second optical sensor disposed within the body and including (1) a second emitter configured to convey light a second pathlength across a second portion of the inner volume of the fluid testing chamber when the second portion through which the second pathlength crosses contains only urine received by the fluid capturing reservoir, and (2) a second optical detector capable of measuring an intensity of the light emitted by the second emitter as the light exits the inner volume of the fluid testing chamber, the first pathlength being different than the second pathlength; and
a controller operably couplable to the first optical sensor and the second optical sensor, the controller configured to determine if optical properties of the fluid testing chamber are in a predetermined range and adjust at least one of (1) an output of the first or second emitter, or (2) a sensitivity of the first or second optical detector when the optical properties are not in the predetermined range.
