Abstract

Urine collection systems and associated methods and devices are disclosed herein. A representative system can include a urine collection device, a flow control assembly configured to direct a urine flow from the patient to the urine collection device, and a urine measurement device including a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is configured to generate first sensor data based on a weight of the container, and the second sensor is configured to generate second sensor data based on the urine flow from the patient to the container. The system can further include non-transitory computer readable media having instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising determining a first patient urine output based on the first sensor data; and determining a second patient urine output based on the second sensor data.

Claims (46)

1. A urine collection system, comprising:

a first pump configured to provide a diuretic to a patient;

a second pump configured to provide a hydration fluid to the patient;

a urine collection device,

a urine flow assembly configured to support the urine collection device, wherein the urine flow assembly includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on (i) a weight of the urine collection device or (ii) urine flow from the patient to the collection device; and

a console that houses or supports at least a portion of the urine flow assembly, wherein an entirety of the console is positioned at an elevation below at least one of the first pump or the second pump.

2. The urine collection system of claim 1 , further comprising a urine cartridge removably coupled to the console.

3. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the console includes a recessed area, and wherein at least a portion of the urine flow assembly is configured to be positioned within the recessed area.

4. The urine collection system of claim 1 , further comprising a urine cartridge removably coupled to the console, wherein the urine cartridge includes a portion of a fluid line configured to direct urine toward the urine collection device, and wherein, when the urine cartridge is coupled to the console, the fluid line is positioned adjacent the urine flow assembly such that urine flow via the fluid line can be detected by the sensor of the urine flow assembly.

5. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the console is positioned at an elevation below the first pump and the second pump.

6. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a load cell configured to generate first sensor data based on a weight of the urine collection device.

7. The urine collection system of claim 6 , wherein the urine flow assembly further comprises a flow sensor configured to generate second sensor data based on urine flow from the patient to the collection device.

8. The urine collection system of claim 1 , wherein the console includes a recessed area, and wherein at least a portion of the urine flow assembly is within the recessed area.

9. A urine collection system comprising:

a first pump configured to provide a diuretic to a patient;

a second pump configured to provide a hydration fluid to the patient;

a urine collection device,

a urine flow assembly configured to support the urine collection device, wherein the urine flow assembly includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on (i) a weight of the urine collection device or (ii) urine flow from the patient to the urine collection device; and

a console that houses or supports at least a portion of the urine flow assembly,

wherein

the console includes a recessed area,

the urine collection device is configured to be positioned at least partially within the recessed area, and

an entirety of the console is positioned at an elevation below at least one of the first pump or the second pump.

10. A urine collection system, comprising:

a first pump configured to provide a diuretic to a patient;

a second pump configured to provide a hydration fluid to the patient;

a urine collection device,

a urine flow assembly configured to support the urine collection device, wherein the urine flow assembly includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on (i) a weight of the urine collection device or (ii) urine flow from the patient to the urine collection device;

a console that houses or supports at least a portion of the urine flow assembly, wherein the console includes a recessed area, and

an entirety of the console is positioned at an elevation below at least one of the first pump or the second pump; and

a mounting component configured to directly support the urine collection device, wherein the mounting component is within the recessed area.

11. An apparatus, comprising:

a first pump configured to provide a diuretic to a patient;

a second pump configured to provide a hydration fluid to the patient;

a urine collection device,

a urine flow assembly configured to support the urine collection device, wherein the urine flow assembly includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data based on a weight of the urine collection device or urine flow from the patient to the collection device;

a first structure that houses or supports at least a portion of the urine flow assembly or the urine collection device; and

a second structure above an entirety of the first structure, wherein the second structure houses or supports the first pump and the second pump.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising a display positioned above the first structure.

13. The apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising:

a base member coupled to the first structure and the second structure; and

wheels coupled to the base member.

14. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first structure is a console and includes a recessed area, the apparatus further comprising a urine cartridge removably coupled to the console at an area above the recessed area.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , further comprising a urine cartridge removably coupled to the console, wherein the urine cartridge includes a portion of a fluid line configured to direct urine toward the urine collection device, and wherein, when the urine cartridge is coupled to the console, the fluid line is positioned adjacent the urine flow assembly such that urine flow via the fluid line can be detected by the sensor of the urine flow assembly.

16. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the first structure includes a recessed area and a mounting component within the recessed area, and wherein the mounting component is configured to directly support the urine collection device.

17. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the sensor is a load cell configured to generate first sensor data based on a weight of the urine collection device, the apparatus further comprising a flow sensor configured to generate second sensor data based on urine flow from the patient to the collection device.
