EVACUATED BOTTLE SYSTEM
An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck defining an opening that provides fluid communication with the interior; a cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, where the second portion extends radially outward from the first portion to form a floor on an interior thereof and a shoulder on an exterior thereof, the first portion defining a first bore and the second portion defining a second bore fluidly connected to the first bore; a self serum stopper having a self sealing membrane that extends radially outward to overlie at least a portion of the floor of the funnel; and a cap having a cap wall sized to fit over the funnel and a cover portion extending radially inward from the cap wall.

BIODEGRADABLE URINE COLLECTOR
A single-use, biodegradable, paper urine collector and method of using same, the urine collector including a funnel body having a sloped continuous sidewall, a sloped base, a top opening, a funnel hole located at the lowest region of the sloped base and, optionally, a urine sample container operatively coupled to the sloped base. To convey funneled urine into the container, a top edge of the container is positioned within the funnel hole and the base of the container is positioned outside the funnel body. The funnel body is configured to funnel a stream of urine through the top opening and along an interior surface of the funnel body toward and through the funnel hole.
Fluid collection vessel for use with an endoscope
A fluid collection vessel includes a catch portion that is configured to attach to an endoscope adjacent the port. The catch portion directs any leaked fluids the come out of the port into a neck portion that leads to a collection chamber. The catch portion includes an indented portion that is shaped and sized in correspondence with the neck and body of the endoscope so as to locate the port over the approximate center of the opening of the catch portion. The neck portion is an elongated component having a relatively narrow cross section that tends to inhibit spillage in the event of the collection vessel falling or being laid on its side.

EVACUATED BOTTLE SYSTEM
An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck with a rim defining an opening; a cap assembly supported on the bottle, the cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being insertable within the interior of the bottle and the second portion engaging a portion of the bottle to support the funnel above the rim, the funnel defining a bore that fluidly communicates with the hollow interior of the bottle; a self-sealing membrane that covers the bore formed by the funnel to selectively seal the hollow interior of the bottle; a cap attachable to the bottle, the cap including a cover portion that extends at least partially over the self-sealing membrane to restrain movement thereof, the cover portion being axially spaced from the self-sealing membrane to define a gap that permits axial movement of the self-sealing membrane to selectively open the bottle to fluid communication outside of the bottle.
