Aspiration system and body interface device for removing urine discharged by the human body

摘要

An aspiration system for removing urine from the human body comprises a disposable body interface device having a liquid collection chamber. A detachable or permanently attached non-contact liquid sensor disposed outside the liquid collection chamber detects the presence of urine within the chamber. The non-contact sensor is selected from: a capacitance sensor; an ultrasonic sensor; a piezo-resonant sensor; and a temperature sensor.
