Accuryn® Monitoring System
The Accuryn Monitoring System is a comprehensive platform for critical patient monitoring, consisting of a proprietary 'SmartFoley' catheter and an associated monitor. It provides continuous and accurate measurements of urine output, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), and core body temperature. The system also includes software, such as the AKI Detect™ feature, which provides early notification for signs of kidney distress based on established clinical guidelines.
The system addresses the clinical challenge of delayed detection of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and other critical conditions by replacing periodic, manual monitoring with automated, real-time data. This allows clinicians to intervene earlier and more effectively, potentially reducing complications and mortality.
Clinicians face challenges with intermittent, labor-intensive, and often inaccurate manual measurements of urine output, which can delay the diagnosis of critical changes in a patient's condition. The Accuryn system solves this by providing automated, continuous, and integrated monitoring of multiple vital parameters through a single device.
