An automated urine-output-measurement system can include single-patient equipment and/or multi-patient equipment. The single-patient equipment can include a urinary catheter and a urine-collection system. The urine-collection system can include drainage tubing and a drainage receptacle. The multi-patient equipment can include a urine monitor. The urine monitor can include a housing having a cavity configured to completely encompass the drainage receptacle, a urine measurement device configured to measure urine output into the drainage receptacle, and an integrated display screen configured to display patient information including measurements of the urine output. A method of the automated urine-output-measurement system can include placing the drainage receptacle in the urine monitor of the automated urine-output-measurement system, and confirming a volume of urine in the drainage receptacle with that indicated on the urine monitor once a patient has produced urine.

URINARY EVENT DETECTION, TRACKING, AND ANALYSIS

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for generating a void profile for user void events. The method includes receiving by a processing element a plurality of outputs from a fluid level sensor corresponding to a plurality of levels of fluid flowing through a voiding device during a flow event; determining by the processing element a beginning and an end time of the fluid flow into the voiding device during the flow event; analyzing the plurality of outputs of the fluid level sensor over a time interval defined by the beginning and end time of the fluid flow to determine at least one of a fluid flow rate data and an accumulated volume data for the fluid flowing through the voiding device; and storing the fluid flow rate data and the accumulated flow volume data in a memory.

The obtain information on the urination amount of a measurement target arid determine the health status of the measurement target on the basis of the information obtained, a CPU (1) of a urination amount measurement device (100) compares the urination amount detected by a sensor (31) with a threshold value corresponding to the body weight of the measurement target to determine the health status of the measurement target, and an output section (9) outputs the result of the determination by the CPU (1).

SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DRAINING AND ANALYZING BODILY FLUIDS
20190343445 · 2019-11-14 · ·

Systems, devices and methods for draining and analyzing bodily fluids are disclosed where one variation of the catheter system may generally comprise a catheter having at least one opening near or at a distal end of the catheter, a barb in fluid communication with a proximal end of the catheter, a drainage tube in fluid communication with the at least one opening, and a vent tube in fluid communication with the barb. A one-way valve may be positioned in-line with the vent tube and at a location proximal to the barb and a controller may be in communication with the one-way valve, wherein the controller is programmed to apply a negative pressure to the drainage tube resulting in the one-way valve being opened and fluid passing through the vent tube.

Managing fluid levels in a patient and associated devices, systems, and methods

Devices, systems, and methods for delivering fluid therapy to a patient are disclosed herein. An exemplary method can comprise obtaining a urine output rate from a patient; causing a diuretic to be provided to the patient at a dosage rate, wherein the dosage rate is increased over a period of time such that the urine output rate increases to be above a predetermined threshold within the period of time; and causing a hydration fluid to be provided to the patient at a hydration rate. The hydration rate can be set based on the urine output rate to drive net fluid loss from the patient.
