    摘要: Disclosed is an automated weight based fluid output monitoring system that can include a hanger having a securement ball defining a spherical surface and configured to engage a socket. The securement ball can include a sensor array configured to detect a change in pressure between the securement ball and the socket as well as a direction of force relative to a transverse axis of the socket. The hanger can further include a hook configured to be coupled to a fluid collection bag of a fluid drainage system. The hanger can further include a console having one or more processors, non-transitory storage medium, an energy source and a one or more logic modules configured to determine a change in fluid volume of the collection bag over time and an off-axis loading of the fluid collecting bag relative to the transverse axis.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are systems and methods directed to an assisted fluid drainage system including one or more ejector vacuum pumps disposed in-line with the drainage tube. The one or more pumps can use a venturi effect vacuum pump to draw a fluid in and urge the fluid through the drainage tube to prevent the formation of dependent loops. Dependent loops can form within fluid drainage tubes when slack portions of tube create a positive incline. These dependent loops trap fluid and can create a retrograde flow, leading to various complications such as catheter associated urinary tract infections (“CAUTI”). Advantageously, the pumps can operate while the drainage lumen remains in fluid communication with the catheter. As such the pumps can operate continuously to prevent dependent loops from establishing.
