Abstract:
A medical/surgical waste collection rover includes a first waste container disposed on a portable cart and receiving waste under the influence of a vacuum. A fluid measuring system includes a float element disposed within the first waste container, and a controller causing liquid in a reservoir disposed on the cart to prefill the first waste container and subject the float element to an initial lifting to a zero point level. The fluid measuring system determines a volume of contents within the first waste container based on a position of the float element relative to the zero point level. The fluid measuring system may include a sensor rod extending through the first waste container and a second waste container disposed on the cart and separated from the first waste container by a transfer valve. Methods of estimating the volume of liquid and/or medical/surgical waste within the waste container are also provided.

Claim (Index 10):
The medical/surgical waste collection rover of  claim 8 , wherein said sensor rod is comprised of magnetostrictive material and in electric communication with said transceiver with said float element comprising a magnet, wherein said transceiver is adapted to propagate an interrogation pulse that generates an electromagnetic field as the irrigation pulse travels along said sensor rod with said magnet of said float element adapted to cause return pulses to be reflected towards said transceiver in response to receiving the irrigation pulse.
