Embodiment Construction

[0063] Figure 1a to Figure 1f Shown is a urine measuring device 100 for measuring the urine output of a patient carrying a urinary catheter, the device comprising a measuring container or chamber 120, also called a burette, provided with a siphon for the Self-emptying when the burette 120 becomes filled to a predetermined volume. The burette 120 also includes outlets 130, 160 and an inlet 122 for the volume of urine to be measured. Furthermore, the device comprises a base unit 105 provided with a chamber 138 for placing a burette 120 into a side wall of a chamber 138 having a left side wall 139, a right side wall 137 and the rear side wall 136 are also provided with two capacitive electrodes 140 , 141 which are placed apart relative to each other and are capable of sensing a capacitive signal occurring between the two capacitive electrodes. The burette 120 is provided with a vent 106 to allow air to escape from the burette as urine enters the burette. The vent 106 is prefe...

Abstract

A device for measuring of urine production of a patient carrying a urine catheter, the device comprising a replaceable self-emptying chamber (120), provided with a siphon for self emptying when the burette becomes filled up to a predetermined volume, the self-emptying chamber further comprises an inlet and an outlet for the urine whose volume is to be measured, further, the device comprises a base unit (105) provided with attachment organs for removably attaching the self-emptying chamber (120) to the base unit, which station having measurement organs for sensing the level of urine in the self- emptying chamber and for keeping track of number of self-emptyings.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for measuring the urine output of a patient. In particular, the present invention relates to a device for monitoring flow from a urinary catheter inserted in a patient's urinary bladder and further through a self-draining measuring chamber of the device and further collected in a collection bag The amount of urine volume is measured. Background technique [0002] A simple and known method of measuring urine output is to collect the urine produced in a bag via a urinary catheter. The nurse replaces the bag with an empty bag at regular intervals and records the time and volume produced since the last replacement, and the nurse manually calculates a number representing the volume of urine produced. This method is slow, labor intensive, and inaccurate for changes in voided volume during the intervals between collection bag replacements. [0003] Attempts have been made to improve the measurements; ...
