A device for monitoring of an irregular liquid flow rate, such as urine or another bodily fluid from a catheterized patient, includes a measurement chamber having an inlet and an outlet, a liquid level sensor in the collection vessel, a closure, and a control unit. The chamber is configured to allow liquid to enter through the inlet and leave through the outlet, respectively. The closure opens and closes the outlet in response to signals from the control unit. The liquid level sensor provides a signal to the control unit when liquid in the vessel attains a first preset volume.

An apparatus for measuring at least one measure related to urination of an individual such as urine flow rate and/or urine quantity. The apparatus is configured to produce acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals indicative of the at least one urination measure upon having urine applied thereover. The invention also provides systems and methods that detect the acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals originating from the apparatus being used by the individual and analyze the detected signals to calculate the at least one measure therefrom by using a designated application module operable via an end device using acoustic sensing means or data receiving means of the end device for detecting the acoustic and/or electromagnetic signals.

The present invention relates to a urine specimen capture device comprising a capture bowl for collecting a urine specimen, a mounting frame for supporting the capture bowl within a toilet bowl, and an analytic device connected to the capture bowl to analyze a property of the urine specimen in the capture bowl.

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.

Methods and devices to diagnose and treat male urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are provided. A multiple sensor-enabled catheter for rectal insertion in a male patient allows for the visualization and manipulation or positioning of the bladder. A multiple sensor-enabled catheter for rectal insertion in a male patient allows for the visualization and implementation of efficient and effective exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.

A method of obtaining high accuracy urination information is proposed. There may be provided the method of obtaining the urination information, wherein sound data is divided into a plurality of windows, segmented target data corresponding to respective windows is obtained from the sound data, segmented classification data classifying urination sections or non-urination sections and segmented urine flow rate data are obtained by using the obtained segmented target data, and urination data is obtained by using the obtained segmented classification data and the segmented urine flow rate data.

A bed pan assembly with excretion analyzation beneficially configured to collect, read, sample, analyze, and/or notify one or more desired users of one or more targeted properties of a stool or urine sample and comprising a portable bed pan housing with a bottom wall, a sidewall, an excretion storage cavity, and at least one analyzing sensor operably configured to detect at least one of a targeted stool or urine property from a stool or urine specimen received within the excretion storage cavity, communicatively couplable to a remote electronic communication device over a wireless network, and operably configured to communicate an electronic notification of the at least one of the targeted stool or urine property to the remote electronic communication device over the wireless network. The analyzing sensors may be specifically, operably configured to detect excreta occult blood, urine flowrate, oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, melanin, weight, or movement as the targeted properties.

This present disclosure relates to fluid therapy based on sodium excretion, and associated systems, devices, and methods. Exemplary methods can include receiving a sodium excretion input for the patient; receiving a urine output rate; determining an adjusted urine output rate based on the sodium excretion input and the urine output rate; and providing fluid therapy based on the adjusted urine output rate. By determining the amount and/or rate of the infused diuretic and/or hydration fluid based on a patient's actual sodium excretion levels, embodiments of the present technology can optimize and/or customize all or a subset of a diuretic therapy to an individual patient's physiology.

An automated urinary output monitoring system includes a urine collection bag in fluid communication with a urinary catheter and an automated urinary output monitoring device. The automated urinary output monitoring device is coupled to a securing surface and includes a load cell assembly in communication with a console. The load cell assembly is configured to detect one or more load values when urine collection bag is coupled to the automated urinary output monitoring device. The automated urinary output monitoring device further includes a coupling system configured to detachably couple the urine collection bag to the automated urinary output monitoring device. The coupling system includes a slide track configured to slidably receive a spine, and a locking mechanism configured to transition between an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration.

A method for collecting and analyzing urine at the time it is released uses a urine collecting tube joined with a canister. Suction is produced in the collecting tube to join the tube with a penis or to the exterior surface of a female urethra orifice. Once suction is achieved the collecting tube stays in place by suction action. When urine flows into the urine collecting tube a sensor triggers a vacuum pump to produce a higher level of suction to flush the urine into the canister where a level sensor determines the quantity of urine received. Various sensors in the canister determine levels of non-urine partials such as occult blood, drugs, salt, and other substances. When urine is no longer detected within the urine tube, the vacuum pump is turned off and a low-level vacuum remains to assure interconnection with the urine tube.
