Abstract:
A urine bag cleaning apparatus comprising:a housing having an interior space; a pump positioned in said interior space; a tank positioned in said interior space; a conduit positioned in said interior space and environmentally coupling said pump and said tank; a filter system operationally coupled to said tank for filtering a fluid passed through said tank; an influent manifold positioned in said interior space and environmentally coupled to said pump; an exfluent manifold positioned in said interior space and environmentally coupled to said tank; said influent manifold and said exfluent manifold having substantially aligned apertures whereby said influent and exfluent manifolds are adapted for coupling to opposite ends of a urine bag to form a closed system for passing the fluid through the urine bag whereby the urine bag is cleansed; and said apertures of said influent manifold being aligned with said apertures of said exfluent manifold to allow the urine bag to be in fluid communication with one of said apertures of said influent manifold and an associated one of said apertures of said exfluent manifold when the urine bag is coupled to said influent manifold and said exfluent manifold, each of said apertures of said influent manifold being in direct fluid communication with the associated one of said apertures of said exfluent manifold to allow the fluid to pass directly from said influent manifold to said exfluent manifold through the urine bag when the urine bag is coupled to the influent manifold and the exfluent manifold.
