Disclosed is a nursing machine that includes a wearable working head and a urine detection circuit. The urine detection circuit includes at least two first urine sensors and at least two second urine sensors that are arranged on the working head. In response to more than one first urine sensor each outputting a liquid detected signal or in response to more than one second urine sensor each outputting the liquid detected signal, the urine detection circuit is configured to output a urine signal. In response to only one first urine sensor or only one second urine sensor outputting the liquid detected signal or in response to only one first urine sensor and only one second urine sensor each outputting the liquid detected signal, the urine detection circuit doesn't output the urine signal.

A system for preserving functionality of a skin-engageable element for attachment to a skin portion of a user during storage including a skin-engageable element and a protective element having discrete portions projecting therefrom. The discrete portions are adapted to engage with through-going passages in an adhesive layer of the skin-engageable element, and ensure that the passages are open and passable when the protective element is removed before use of the skin-engageable element. A protective element attachable to a proximal adhesive side of a skin-engageable element for attachment to a skin portion of a user is also disclosed.

A urine collection system is provided for use on a patient support apparatus. The urine collection system comprises a housing and a container for mounting to the housing in a releasable manner.

An ostomy pouch emptying device which has a receiver for receiving effluent from an ostomy pouch. The emptying device may accommodate disposable receptacles, such as emesis bags with integrated rims, or may directly interface with a receptacle such as a toilet bowl. The device can be used while standing or sitting, and may be secured to a wall or placed atop a lap of the user. An embodiment could also provide a portable system for disposing of the effluent from the ostomy pouch.

Fecal management methods and apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) are described herein. The fecal management apparatuses may apply one or more fecal removal cycles of suction and irrigation (and in some examples air) to actively remove fecal material. The apparatus may control the timing of delivery of the fecal removal cycles as well as the parameters of the applied suction, irrigation and/or air within and between fecal removal cycles.
