    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring urine output of a patient. The system includes a collection canister coupled with a display module, the canister having a volume sensor to measure urine output, the measurement may be displayed or transmitted over a network. The system links an identification of the canister to an identification of the patient. A drainage tube is pre-coupled with the canister, and optionally, with the catheter, to define a closed system enclosed in a sterile preconnected tray. The volume sensor includes an ultrasonic sensor configured to detect a distance between the urine level and the top of the canister which is converted into a volume of urine within the canister. The display module is coupled with canister. The canister and the display module each include a console that includes logic stored in memory that, when executed by one or more processors, causes performance of operations.
