The unique URINFO system provides automatic continuous reliable information for urine output monitoring over time with virtually no manual intervention required. URINFO provides clinically relevant information in real time enabling attending physicians to identify early indications of developing conditions. A quickly read digital LCD display, which is situated prominently at bedside, provides real-time urine output and urine output histories enabling trends in urine output to be recognized. Some models even generate an ElectroUrinoGram (EuRG) supplying continuous on-line urine flow information. Easily programmable audible alarms ensure that physician-defined urine output levels are continuously monitored and issue warnings if there are deviations – with no manual intervention required.

Today urine output measurement is really unreliable and does not provide data quickly enough to provide guidance for clinical decisions in renal management and of patients at immediate risk. Therefore physicians are frequently in situations where crucial data is inaccessible, and lifesaving decisions need to be made, based on a lack of information or a crude estimation. However, with continuous reliable urine output monitoring information, fluid therapies can be better focused and effective. Continuous information provides early indications of developing conditions like:

• Renal function, perfusion or failure Shock
• Pre-operative/ Post-operative complications Surgical success
• Undetected internal trauma Dehydration
• Response to medication (antibiotics, diuretics etc.) Jaundice
• Bladder infection Preeclampsia
• Cystitis Prostatitis
• Urinary tract infection Kidney stones
• Low Blood Pressure Hypovolemia
• Hypervolemia Pulmonary Edema
• Tubular Necrosis
  
  

Continuous automated urine output monitoring enables trending in the urine output to be recognized. Therefore, symptoms which that are easily recognized, due to reduced or voluminous urine output, would no longer go undetected.

In short, the URINFO system will:

• Ensure renal and fluid management by providing early indications of developing conditions
• Continuously monitor urine output automatically over time
• Provide access to real-time and historical urine output information
• Trigger audible alarms if there are dangerous changes in the patient's urine output
• Enable physicians to have a direct reliable indicator of adequate perfusion
