Physiological fluid collection bag with instant data transmission
The design and structure of a physiological fluid collection bag with instant data transmission capabilities, utilizing a micromachined thermal time-of-flight flow sensor as well as integrated pH and calorimetric mass flow sensors for simultaneous and continuous measurement of the instant volumetric flow rate, accumulated total volume, pH and density of data of a collected fluid is disclosed in embodiments. The fluid collection bag includes a collection chamber and storage chamber wherein the sensors are installed inside the storage chamber of the bag and the bag is fully disposable. The fluid collection bag is able to measure the flow rate and instantly relay the data to a reusable data processing unit that can transmit the data to a designated data center or to medical staff.
SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR THE PREVENTION OF INFECTIONS AND MEASUREMENT OF BODY FLUIDS
The present disclosure relates to a device for the measurement of fluids and the prevention of infections caused by probes comprising a module of fluid measurement and a probe infection prevention module. The fluid measurement module comprises an electronic module for the measurement of the body fluids; a disposable container for temporary retention of fluid during measurement; a fluid circulation tube arranged between the probe and the disposable container; and a disposable bag for the final disposal of waste fluids. The probe infection prevention module comprises a sheet equipped with adhesive allowing conformation of a flexible structure to the skin or mucosa of the patient. This module incorporates a gel externally that prevents infections, as well as internal antimicrobial components to inhibit passage of microorganisms through the system. The present invention allows non-invasive measurement of fluids utilizing existing probes while contributing to the reduction of infections in patients.
