`initial collection well, and a lower portion divided into an initial stream collection reservoir and a
`midsireamcollection reservoir. The device further includes a collection cavity and drain to allow
`a urine stream to flow into the housing. The device further includes a rotatable diverter adapted
`to rotate between: a first position in which an actuation panel is positioned to separate the initial
`collection well fromthe initial stream collection reservoir and a deflection panel is positioned to
`separate the initial collection well from the midstream collection reservoir, and a second position
`in which the deflector panel deflects the urine stream received throughthe collection drain into the
`midstreamcollection reservoir. The actuation panel comprises a piece of absorbent material affixed
`to a top surface thereof, within the initial collection well.
