Introduction

Urine output is a key marker for the clinical management of renal function, fluid and electrolyte balance, and organ perfusion. Traditional urine output monitoring is done manually and results in subjective measurements, sampling time errors, and frequent contact with patient secretions. FlowSense's URINFO2000 is an automated urine monitoring device used today in many critical care units.

URINFO2000 provides a more effective means of urine output monitoring, providing clinicians with real-time, continuous, and reliable data with which to improve patient outcomes.

The benefits of using the URINFO2000 system can be found in daily acute care use:

1. Fluid management:  Fluid management is an on-going battle in the critical care setting. Urine output is one of the key markers used by clinicians. Automated real-time monitoring results in more rapid detection, earlier treatment, and improved outcomes.

2. Bio-Marker: Real-time, continuous urine output monitoring is an effective bedside marker of organ condition and renal function. Clinical work with the URINFO2000 has shown that continuous urine output monitoring can reflect kidney function.
