Fluid collection devices, systems, and methods

A method to collect fluid, the method comprising:

• positioning an opening of a fluid collection device adjacent to a female urethra or around a male urethra, the opening defined by a fluid impermeable barrier of the fluid collection device;
• receiving fluid from the female urethra or the male urethra into a chamber of the fluid collection device, the chamber of the fluid collection device at least partially defined by the fluid impermeable barrier;
• and
• applying suction with a portable vacuum source effective to suction the fluid from the chamber via a conduit disposed therein and in fluid communication with the portable vacuum source.

A fluid collection system, comprising:

• a fluid storage container configured to hold a fluid;
• a fluid collection device in fluid communication with the fluid storage container, the fluid collection device including:
• a fluid impermeable barrier at least partially defining a chamber, the fluid impermeable barrier also defining an opening configured to be positioned adjacent to a female urethra or have a male urethra positioned therethrough;
• and
• a conduit including an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being in fluid communication with the fluid storage container and the inlet being positioned in a portion of the chamber selected to be at a gravimetrically low point of the fluid collection device when worn by a user;
• and
• a portable vacuum source in fluid communication with one or more of the fluid storage container or the fluid collection device via the conduit, the portable vacuum source configured to draw fluid from the fluid collection device via the conduit.
