A pistoning prevention system (PPS) that will improve catheter associated urinary tract infection rates of an indwelling Foley catheter while maintaining reliability, comfort, & safety. With the PPS incorporated within a Foley catheter during manufacturing it will eliminate the excess stretch along a specific length of a Foley catheter that resides within the patient's urethra. The excessive amount and ease of stretch is responsible for the pistoning action of an indwelling Foley catheter moving in and out of the urethra. This action is responsible for the retrograde movement of bacteria outside the body & into the urethra, bladder, & kidneys increasing preventable infections. With much prevention work globally, the pistoning action of a Foley catheter is now known to be partially or wholly to blame for the attributed $340 million spent in the U.S. on healthcare costs & 13,000 associated deaths making this an immediate global patient safety emergency.

This invention discloses an indwelling urinary catheter obstruction early warning system based on impedance spectrum analysis. Because the impedance measurement module directly applies multi-frequency AC excitation signals to the urine, and the dielectric properties of different materials vary with frequency, the system can capture early electrical characteristics of microscopic compositional changes, thus achieving early detection of the obstruction formation process. The spectrum analysis module generates a continuous impedance spectrum. By extracting features from the spectrum and comparing it with a reference model reflecting the normal state, individual differences and transient interference are filtered out, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the early warning. The entire process is automatically completed by electrode measurement, spectrum analysis, and intelligent judgment, thus realizing a shift from passively observing obstruction to actively warning of risks. This solves the technical problem that relying on medical staff to periodically observe urine flow or use simple fluid level alarms cannot provide early warning in the early stages of obstruction, especially obstruction caused by the slow formation of biofilms or crystals.
