CATHETER OR CANNULA ARRANGEMENT WITH FLOW SENSOR AND RELATED DEVICES, SYSTEMS, USES AND METHODS

摘要

The catheter or cannula arrangement (1) comprises a catheter or cannula (2); a sensing unit (3) comprising a sensing element for sensing a flow of a fluid; and an output unit (4) operationally connectable to the sensing unit (3). The output unit (4) is provided for receiving from the sensing unit (3) signals related to the sensed flow of the fluid referred to as sensed signals, for obtaining, by processing the sensed signals, signals referred to as processed signals, and for outputting the processed signals, e.g., by means of a visual display (5). The output unit (4) may comprise fixing structures for attaching it to tubing of the catheter or cannula (2). The sensing unit (3) may be comprised in a tube extension (30). The catheter or cannula may be a urinary catheter.
