Fluid containers and systems and methods for detecting a fluid level therein
Fluid containers having a volume marking(s) and conductive element(s) disposed at the volume marking(s) and a common conductive element are provided. For example, the fluid container has a wall forming the volume. The conductive element(s) and the common conductive element have a portion disposed within the volume and a portion external to the volume. The container further has a RFID tag, where the conductive element(s) and the common conductive element are connected thereto via respective conductive wires. A fluid detection system having the fluid containers is also provided. The system comprises one or more containers and a patient site monitor having a RF reader that interrogates the RFID tag at a preset interval. Responsive to the signal, the tag supplies a predetermined current to the conductive element and the common conductive element and detects a voltage and generates an alert based on the same.
Portable urine flow meter including a guide arranged in a nozzle part in a urine flow passage tube
In this urine flow meter, a water wheel which is caused to rotate by a flow of urine from a urine flow passage tube is provided at a lower end side of the urine flow passage tube. The shape of a tip portion of the urine flow passage tube that causes urine to hit on the water wheel constitutes a nozzle part in which the tip-side is acutely processed, and an opening is formed in a sidewall surface of the tip-side. A guide is provided in a urine flow passage and is disposed in such a way that a tip of the guide is elongated as far as a tip-side region of the mine flow passage tube. The water wheel is caused to rotate by the flow of urine, and the urine flow rate can be detected on the basis of the rotation detection information.
PORTABLE FLUID MONITORING FOB AND METHODS FOR ACCURATELY MEASURING FLUID OUTPUT
Fluid monitoring devices and/or systems are provided for monitoring fluid output, including volume and flow rate. A high resolution, low cost electronic fluid monitoring device and system collects fluid such as urine and includes a force sensor that correlates the force of gravity on a fluid collection container with strain and converts it to electrical energy. The force registered on the sensor is correlated with fluid content using a pre-programmed machine learning based algorithm and can be used to identify fluid volume and flow rate. Vertical adjustment and rotational adjustment systems for the device are also described.
FLUID THERAPY METHOD
A fluid therapy method for an ADHF patient includes setting a urine output rate desired threshold, setting one or more desired negative net gain rates, and optionally setting a total fluid loss goal. The urine output of the patient is monitored and fluid is automatically administered to the patient at increasing rates to equal to or approximately match the patient's increasing urine output rates until the patient's urine output rate reaches the set urine output rate desired threshold. Thereafter, fluid is administered to the patient at rates to achieve the set desired negative net gain rate until the fluid loss goal is reached. Thereafter, until the end of therapy, fluid is administered to the patient at rates equal to or approximately equal to the monitored urine output rates.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A HEMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY RISK SCORE FOR PEDIATRIC SUBJECTS
The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to determine a hemodynamic instability risk score for a pediatric subject. The system is configured to: obtain an age of the subject; obtain feature values for one or more features associated with physiological characteristics of the subject; determine one or more feature value thresholds for individual features that indicate risk of hemodynamic instability in the subject, the feature value thresholds determined based on the age of the subject; determine feature contribution prediction scores for the individual features based on whether the obtained feature values breach one or more of the determined feature value thresholds for the individual features; and aggregate the feature contribution prediction scores to determine the hemodynamic instability risk score for the subject.
