- and
- a conduit including an inlet and an outlet, the inlet being positioned within the urine collection device and the outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid storage container;
- and
- a portable vacuum source in fluid communication with the fluid storage container, wherein the portable vacuum source is disposed within the fluid impermeable barrier of the urine collection device and the portable vacuum source is configured to draw liquid from the urine collection device;
- wherein the conduit includes a first portion extending and connected to the portable vacuum source from outside of the fluid impermeable barrier and a second portion extending from and connected to the portable vacuum source within the fluid impermeable barrier with the inlet positioned in the chamber.
