Device for the withdrawal and storage of individual fluid fractions lathered at given intervals
First Claim
1. A device for withdrawing body fluids, such as blood, urine, tissue fluid, comprising a withdrawal unit connected to a suction unit and a storage system which is situated between said suction unit and said withdrawal unit, said storage system comprises separable individual areas for respectively receiving and holding fractions of said body fluid gathered at certain sequential intervals, permitting said fluid fractions to be clearly identified with regard to their time of withdrawal, wherein said withdrawal unit is provided with an ingoing line for a liquid to be introduced into the body and an outgoing line for said body fluid to be gathered, and wherein said ingoing line is connected to a pressure unit.

Abstract
A device for withdrawing body fluids such as blood, urine and tissue fluid includes a withdrawal unit, a suction unit, and a storage system receiving the body fluid between the withdrawal unit and the suction unit, the storage system being divided into separate areas holding the fluid fractions gathered at given intervals and permitting the individual fluid fractions to be identified with regard to their time of withdrawal. In this way tests requiring repeated sampling at short intervals are made easier for doctor and patient.
