Abstract: Method for preventing biofilm formation on at least one luminal surface of a catheter system (1). The catheter system (1) comprises a collection vessel (4) and a tube (3) coupled to the collection vessel (4). The catheter system (1) comprises a catheter connector (2, 20, 200) coupled to the tube (3) and connectable to a catheter (6). The method comprises the consecutive steps of connecting the catheter connector (2, 20, 200) to the catheter (6) and supplying a silicon oil to an interior (25, 205) of the catheter connector. A catheter assembly comprising a catheter connector (20) comprising a port (24) providing access to the interior (25) of the connector and a dispensing unit (50) containing a silicon oil. A catheter connector (200) comprising a reservoir (207) containing a silicon oil and a releasing mechanism (208) releasing the silicone oil into the interior (205) of the connector.

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.

Abstract: A urine handling system capsule (105) for releasing an oil mixture in the lumen of a urine handling system, the capsule (105) comprising a capsule wall defining a space filled with an oil mixture, wherein the oil mixture comprises 90-100% of an oil selected from the group consisting of silicone fluids and mineral oils or a mixture thereof, and having a viscosity of at most 600 cSt, and wherein the capsule wall is made of a water-soluble material. A urine measurement system (101) comprising an oil mixture arranged in the luminal space of the measurement system. A method for inhibiting impairment of functionality and measurement accuracy in a urine measurement system comprising applying an oil mixture to the inner surfaces of the urine measurement system. Use of an oil mixture in treatment of luminal surfaces of a urine handling system.

Abstract: Method for automatically, with the aid of a processor, determining a surface degeneration of a first surface of a urine handling system, the first surface being intended to come into contact with urine, the method comprises the following main steps: a) repeatedly measuring one or more capacitive values of the first surface, forming capacitive measurements; b) storing all, or representative instants of the capacitive measurements; c) deciding, based on changes of the stored capacitive measurements, that a significant surface degeneration of the first surface has occurred
