There is disclosed an apparatus which measures the output of urine optically, may totalize it and may print it on a self-adherent paper which can easily be affixed to the hospital chart.
<??>The apparatus (10) comprises a collection means (30) and a control means (20), said collection means comprising catheter coupler means (35), said catheter coupler means being adapted to couple to said catheter; measurement column means (40) coupled to said catheter coupler means, said measurement column means being adapted to retain said urinary output for optical measurement; optical sensor means (41, 42, 43, 44) positioned adjacent to said measurement column means, said optical sensor means being adapted to determine when said measurement column means has a predetermined amount of liquid therein; pump means (50) coupled to said measurement column means, said pump means being adapted to remove urinary output from the measurement column means at a known rate of flow; collection bag means (90) communicating with said measurement column means, said control means comprising control logic means and clock means, said control logic means being coupled to said optical sensor means, said pump means and said clock means, said control logic means being adapted to periodically empty said measurement column means by operation of said pump means to compute the periodic flow of urinary output and to direct the output of said pump means to said collection bag means. |
