Resumen
Device (6) for measuring a flow of urine in a catheterized patient (30) comprising: - a dropper (5) comprising a chamber (5a) for housing liquid; - an inlet tube (3) configured to join the camera (5a) to a catheter (2) of the probed patient (30); - an outlet tube (3a) configured to join the chamber (5a) with a urinary bag (4); - a main printed circuit board (35) for holding the dripper (5); - an emitter (19a) configured to emit an infrared beam (36) through the camera (5a) of the dripper (5); - a receiver (19b) configured to receive the infrared beam (36) through the camera (5a) of the dripper (5); - a processing unit (13) configured to calculate an amount of urine flow produced by the probed patient (30) from a variation of the infrared beam received, either because the passage of liquid through the chamber (5a) occurs in the form of drops or in the form of a continuous flow; - a wireless communications unit (32) configured to send information about the data generated in the processing unit (13).
