Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system for monitoring urine output (UO) of a patient. The system includes a UO module configured to couple with a collection container. The UO module includes (i) a frame configured for anchoring to frame rails of a bed, (ii) a load cell configured to measure a weight of UO within the container and (iii) logic stored in memory that determines volumetric UO data from the load cell and transmits the UO data across a network to an external entity. An intermediate coupling device between the collection container and the UO module is configured to couple with the collection container and inhibit decoupling from the collection container. The intermediate coupling device includes an identification device attached thereto, identification device including patient information, and the logic links the UO data to the patient information.
