Surgical drain system and container

A portable surgical drain system, comprising:

• a subdermal drain at a first end of the portable surgical drain system, the subdermal drain configured to drain fluid from a surgical site;
• and
• a container at a second end of the portable surgical drain system, the container in fluid communication with the subdermal drain providing a negative pressure to the subdermal drain, the container including a cartridge having a vacuity to draw and receive the fluid into the cartridge and a drain hub, the cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub to form the container, wherein the container includes at least one sensor disposed on the drain hub proximate a wall of the cartridge in which the at least one sensor is configured to detect fluid color, fluid volume in the cartridge from outside the cartridge, and orientation of the container, wherein the detection of the fluid volume and fluid color are based on whether the container is detected in a selected orientation;
• wherein the drain includes a suction member in fluid communication with the container and an inflatable balloon isolated from fluid communication with the container.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site, the container comprising:

• a drain hub having a side and a sensor, the side including a sensor window and the sensor being disposed proximate an interior of the side and the sensor window;
• and
• a cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain, the cartridge having a vacuity to draw and receive the fluid from the surgical site;
• the cartridge disposed against an exterior of the side and the sensor window wherein the sensor includes an array of photodiodes on the drain hub to detect fluid volume and fluid color in the cartridge, wherein the detection of fluid volume and fluid color are based on whether the container is detected in a selected orientation.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site, the container comprising:

• a drain hub having a side and sensor, the side including a sensor window and the sensor being disposed proximate an interior of the side and the sensor window;
• and
• a cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain to draw and receive the fluid from the surgical site;
• the cartridge disposed against an exterior of the side and the sensor window wherein the sensor includes a set of light filtered photodiodes and a light source on the drain hub to detect color of the fluid in the cartridge, wherein the detection of color of the fluid is based on whether the drain hub is detected in a selected orientation.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site, the container comprising:

• a drain hub having a side, a sensor, and a processing circuit operably coupled the sensor, the side including a sensor window and the sensor being disposed proximate an interior of the side and the sensor window;
• and
• a cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain to draw and receive the fluid from the surgical site;
• the cartridge disposed against an exterior of the side and the sensor window wherein the sensor to detect fluid color and fluid flow wherein the detection of fluid color and fluid flow are based on whether the drain hub is detected in a selected orientation and wherein the processing circuit is configured to provide an alert of a change in fluid color or increase in fluid flow.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site, the container comprising:

• a drain hub having a side and a plurality of sensors, the side including a sensor window and a sensor of the plurality of sensors being disposed proximate an interior of the side and the sensor window;
• and
• a cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain to draw and receive the fluid from the surgical site;
• the cartridge disposed against an exterior of the side and the sensor window wherein a first sensor of the plurality of sensors includes a first volume sensor to detect volume of the fluid when the cartridge is in a first orientation, a second sensor of the plurality of sensors includes a second volume sensor to detect volume of the fluid when the cartridge is in a second orientation, and a third sensor of the plurality of sensors is an inertial motion sensor to detect whether the cartridge is in the first orientation or the second orientation, and a fourth sensor to detect color of the fluid, wherein the detection of color of the fluid is based on whether the cartridge is detected in a selected one of the first orientation and the second orientation.

A container for a portable surgical drain system to receive a fluid from a drain at a surgical site, the container comprising:

• a drain hub having a side and at least one sensor, the side including a sensor window and the sensor being disposed proximate an interior of the side and the sensor window;
• and
• a cartridge having a generally rigid vessel, the cartridge removably coupled to the drain hub in fluid communication with the drain to provide a suction source to draw the fluid from the surgical site into the vessel;
• the cartridge disposed against an exterior of the side and the sensor window wherein the at least one sensor to detect a characteristic of the fluid in the vessel, the detected characteristic including fluid color, wherein the detection of fluid color is based on whether the drain hub is detected in a selected orientation.
