FLUID MANAGEMENT
Advanced diuresis monitoring solutions designed to prevent infections and provide accurate urine measurement in critically ill patients
outstanding solutions for measuring hourly diuresisIn-vitro study results have demonstrated that top-mounted urine meters are helping to prevent retrograde infection more effectively than traditional devices with a front-mounted chamber.1,2
The Q500 Plus is a top-mounted system, which, in addition, is equipped with two independent Non-Return Valves helping to further minimise the risk of retrograde contamination.Moreover, the system includes multiple features helping to provide accurate urine measurement for all patients, even for low volumes, during transportation and for various bed types.
