SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SENSING PHYSIOLOGIC DATA AND DRAINING AND ANALYZING BODILY FLUIDS
Systems, devices and methods for sensing physiologic data and draining and analyzing bodily fluids are described which are capable of sensing physiologic data based on sensors incorporated into a catheter adapted to reside in any of a urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, rectal location, pre-peritoneal, pleural space or other body cavity. The devices aid emptying of the bladder, measure urine output and various urine parameters such as oxygen tension, urine conductance and urine specific gravity, monitor renal function, analyze urine parameters, including urine content, including the presence of infection, and track and/or control fluid administration.
Methods and apparatus for measuring pressure in a patient are provided which may include any number of features. One feature is a pressure measurement system comprising a pressure source, a compliant bladder, a catheter in communication with the pressure source, pressure sensors, and a controller configured to determine a pressure within the compliant bladder. The pressure measurement system can inflate the compliant bladder with gas or air to determine a pressure within a patient. In one embodiment, the pressure measurement system measures pressure within a peritoneal cavity.
Foley type catheter embodiments for sensing physiologic data from a urinary tract of a patient are disclosed. The system includes the catheter and a data processing apparatus and methods for sensing physiologic data from the urinary tract. Embodiments may also include a pressure sensor having a pressure interface at a distal end of the catheter, a pressure transducer at a proximal end, and a fluid column disposed between the pressure interface and transducer. When the distal end is residing in the bladder, the pressure transducer can transduce pressure impinging on it into a chronological pressure profile, which can be processed by the data processing apparatus into one or more distinct physiologic pressure profiles, for example, peritoneal pressure, respiratory rate, and cardiac rate. At a sufficiently high data-sampling rate, these physiologic data may further include relative pulmonary tidal volume, cardiac output, relative cardiac output, and absolute cardiac stroke volume.

SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DRAINING AND ANALYZING BODILY FLUIDS
A device for draining bodily fluids is described herein which generally may comprise an elongate body defining one or more lumens configured to receive a bodily fluid from a cavity, e.g., bladder, of a patient body. The one or more lumens are in fluid communication with a reservoir which may receive the bodily fluid. A pumping mechanism may be used to urge the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens, where the pumping mechanism is configured to maintain an open space within the one or more lumens such that outflow of the bodily fluid through the one or more lumens remains unobstructed such that a negative pressure buildup in the cavity is inhibited. The device may also include a vent or valve mechanism in communication with the elongate body to allow air to enter or exit the one or more lumens.

Sensing Foley catheter variations are described herein which may comprise a fluid chamber defining a receiving channel and a port fluidly coupled to a drainage lumen of the catheter such that the receiving channel is in fluid communication with the drainage opening. A pressure sensing mechanism located within the fluid chamber may comprise a pressure sensing mechanism which is configured to detect fluid pressure when body fluid, such as urine, is introduced into the drainage opening of the catheter and is received within the receiving channel and impinges upon the pressure sensing mechanism.

Systems, devices and methods for draining and analyzing bodily fluids are disclosed in which a drainage assembly is configured to prevent negative pressure build-up. The drainage assembly generally includes a catheter which may include a drainage lumen, a reservoir, a venting mechanism in fluid communication with the drainage lumen and a positive pressure lumen, and a controller. The venting mechanism may further include a valve which is configured to maintain a closed position, as well as a vent in fluid communication with the valve, where the venting mechanism is configured to inhibit wetting of the vent from fluid within the drainage lumen

SYSTEMS, DEVICES AND METHODS FOR DRAINING AND ANALYZING BODILY FLUIDS AND ASSESSING HEALTH
Systems, devices and methods for draining and analyzing bodily fluids and assessing health are described and generally comprise a drainage tube in fluid communication with at least one opening near or at a distal end of a catheter, a pump in fluid communication with the drainage tube and configured to apply a negative pressure to the drainage tube, and a valve configured for unidirectional flow and in fluid communication with the drainage tube. A controller is configured to actuate the pump to apply the negative pressure for clearing an airlock and to monitor a urine output from the patient over a first predetermined period of time above a urine output threshold and over a second predetermined period of time below the urine output threshold. The controller may determine a risk of acute kidney injury if the urine output below the urine output threshold exceeds the second predetermined period of time.
Equipment adaptor assembly and equipment stands are described where the adaptor may generally comprise an adaptor body having a width and a depth, and a connector extending from the adaptor body configured for securement to the equipment. A first recess may be defined by a brace positioned at a first location along the adaptor body, and a second recess may be defined at a second location at a distance from the first recess. The adaptor may be further configured to be interchangeably securable to a support structure via the first recess or second recess while maintaining a level orientation of the equipment such that securement via the first recess positions the equipment at a first height relative to horizontal and securement to the support structure via the second recess positions the equipment at a second height relative to horizontal where the first height and second height are different.
