Abstract
An improved system that allows a disabled person in a wheelchair to automatically empty the contents of a urinary waste from a leg bag, without the aid of an attendant. The system comprises a pump mounted on the wheelchair, with the pump having an inlet port and a discharge port. The inlet port is connectable to the drain tube of the leg bag, and a discharge line is connected to the discharge port of the pump. The discharge line is connected to a receptacle for collecting fluid flowing through said discharge line.
