Portable device with disposable reservoir for collection of internal fluid after surgery

A device comprising:

• a. a housing;
• b. one or more pumps located within the housing, the one or more pumps configured to create a negative pressure and move fluid, and wherein the one or more pumps are capable of creating the negative pressure while a patient wearing the device is positioned in a prone position or a supine position;
• c. one or more connectors located at least partially within in the housing;
• d. internal fluid paths connecting the one or more pumps to the one or more connectors;
• e. one or more reservoirs connected to the one or more connectors, the one or more reservoirs being configured to collect the fluid moved by the one or more pumps;
• and
• f. a processor in communication with the one or more pumps;
• wherein the fluid moved is a fluid from a wound or incision of the patient;
• and
• wherein the one or more pumps are two pumps and each of the two pumps are in communication with internal tubing and each of the two pumps include discrete tubing.

A method comprising:

• a. controlling one or more pumps of a device with a processor so that when the one or more pumps are activated the one or more pumps create a negative pressure to move fluid from a wound or incision of a patient;
• b. moving the fluid from the wound or the incision of the patient, through one or more connectors through internal fluid paths in communication with the one or more pumps and into one or more reservoirs;
• c. calculating a total volume of fluids collected from the wound or the incision that is located within one or more reservoirs of the device;
• and
• d. indicating that the one or more reservoirs are full,
• wherein the one or more connectors are a manifold with an exit in communication with the one or more pumps and two or more input connections that each include tubing that receives the fluid from the wound or the incision of the patient.
