Claims
- 1-42. (Canceled).
- 43. A system for containing fluid and for determining an amount of fluid flow, the system comprising:
a non-collapsible means for containing fluid; means for sensing an amount of gas flowing through an opening of said means for containing fluid as fluid flows through an opening of said means for containing fluid, where said means for sensing is in fluid communication with said means for containing fluid, said means for containing fluid includes:
a spike that is configured to allow the gas and fluid to flow through the opening in the container at the same time; and means for calculating the amount of fluid flowing through an opening of said means for containing fluid based on the amount of gas flowing through an opening of said means for containing fluid, wherein said means for calculating is coupled to said means for sensing, allowing the amount of gas that flows through the sensor to correspond directly with an amount of gas that flows through an opening in the container.
