Urine output monitoring system for management of critical care
patients
A critical metric
Measurement of fluid flow is crucial in physiologic studies and clinical situations. Currently, physiological parameters of most patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are monitored electronically with highly sophisticated devices, excepted urine output.
To reduce the risk of contamination during covid, it was crucial to avoid contact with the patient and even enter the room. This confirms to the physicians that an electronic device needs to be developed to facilitate urine output measurement.
Diuricheck
Diuricheck is a device that monitors urine output. It allows continuous monitoring of urine outflow. Our device uses two redundant measure technologies in parallel, which ensure a very high reliability.
The device strives to be very simple and do not change current operations.
The operational cost of the device is very low because the consumables are cheap
and contain no electronics or expensive parts.
The monitoring system can be connected to hospitals information systems using
HL7.
The sensor device is connected to the screen using a secured wireless
connection. To avoid frequency overcrowding, we do not use the 2.4Ghz band.
The device has a built in alarm system that can be programmed to fire on
different triggers. Alarms can be local via audio and LEDs or it can be a
distant notification.
