A portable fluid collection apparatus comprising a fluid reservoir for receiving fluid produced by a person, detection means (40) for detecting a property of fluid within the fluid reservoir, and processor means configured to receive data from the detection means and determine the level of fluid within the fluid reservoir. The portable fluid collection apparatus further comprising signal means for producing an audible, visual, or tactile signal, wherein said processor means is configured to activate said signal means to produce said signal when the determined level of fluid within the fluid reservoir exceeds a predetermined threshold. Said detection means comprises means for measuring a property of fluid between a first position and a second position spaced from said first position. Said processor means are configured to receive a data packet from the detection means a plurality of times per second and being further configured to only activate said signal means to produce a signal when said processor means determines that the level of fluid within the fluid reservoir exceeds said predetermined threshold over a predetermined number of successive data packets. |
