ABSTRACT:
A device to digitally meter, monitor and collect liquid, such as urine, from a catheterized patient. As such it is the successor to and improvement upon U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,497. An optional part prevents the migration of bacteria from the monitoring and collecting devices to the patient's body cavity. The device comprises a plurality of uniquely shaped movable containers that empty their contents when filled to a predetermined volume, a catheter for delivering liquid to the containers, movement sensors for detecting container movement to determine the amount of fluid collected, patient isolating means for electrically isolating the sensors from the patient while delivering movement signals to the sensors, a final collection container for receiving liquid from the movable containers, supports for supporting the device, and controls and alarms for indicating an alarm condition.
