How do you collect fresh fractional urine specimen?
There should be a port at the end of the catheter where the tubing attaches to the catheter bag. Wipe with alcohol and, with a needle and syringe, insert the needle into the port and withdraw 10cc-20cc or so. Without a needle, you can take it from the bag itself, but the sample won't be as pure. You can also disconnect the catheter from the tubing and extract a sample, but this increases infection risk. If so, get a sterile container, wipe the entire area where the catheter meets the tubing with alcohol, put the catheter into the container, and hopefully you'll get about 5cc-10cc. When you reconnect, be very careful not to touch the inside of the catheter. This line runs straight into the person's bladder, and thus is a risk for bladder infection.
What if the porta cath not flushed regularly?
If a port catheter is not flushed regularly, it can lead to clot formation or blockage, which can prevent proper medication administration or blood withdrawal.

Regular maintenance of the port catheter as per medical guidelines is essential to ensure its proper function and longevity.
