  • Automated Fluid Output Monitoring
    Publication number: 20240424186
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for a fluid collection system and automated fluid flow monitoring. The system can include a urine collection container, and a detection device configured to detect a volume of fluid in the urine collection container. The detection device can be coupled to the collection container without having to compromise the integrity of the closed fluid collection system or re-catheterizing the patient. The detection device can be configured to detect an inversion event, tilt event, and the like to determine a flow rate of fluid into the container. The detection device can be communicatively coupled with external computing devices to alert a clinician when the container is nearing capacity and when it has been emptied.
