About the Accuryn System
Accuryn is a critical care monitoring system that transforms the traditional urinary catheter into a next-generation diagnostic tool. Accuryn uses proprietary electromechanical designs and advanced software algorithms to deliver automated, real-time actionable data including urine output, core body temperature and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). The IAP measurement is taken directly from the catheter tip with just a push of a button, helping to reduce setup time, potential errors, and infection risk. Additionally, innovative active drain line clearance can overcome urine drainage issues that may make urine output measurements unreliable.
The Accuryn™ System is a 510(k) cleared medical device available for sale in the United States.
