Covidien Dover 2L Urine Meter With Precision 400mL Luer Slip Sampling Sterile (7000-)

In high-acuity medical environments, accurate fluid monitoring is essential for patient recovery. The Covidien Dover 2L Urine Meter With Precision 400mL Luer Slip Sampling Sterile (7000-) provides a sophisticated, reliable solution for clinicians who require precise, hour-by-hour output measurements alongside high-capacity collection. By combining a 400mL precision meter with a 2-liter drainage reservoir, this system offers a comprehensive approach to urinary management that minimizes the need for frequent disruptions.

Why Choose This Product?

Precision and safety are the hallmarks of the Dover system. Clinicians choose this meter because it facilitates accurate intake and output (I&O) recording, which is vital for patients in recovery or critical care. Beyond its measurement accuracy, the inclusion of a needleless sampling port and a splash-reducing drain spout directly addresses key infection control protocols. This system isn’t just a collection bag—it is a specialized tool designed to reduce clinical risk and enhance the accuracy of patient diagnostics.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision 400mL Meter: Allows for highly accurate, hourly urine output monitoring, essential for surgical and critical care patients.

• Needleless Sampling Port: Features a Luer-slip, needle-free interface that significantly reduces the risk of needlestick injuries to nursing staff.

• 2L Collection Reservoir: Provides sufficient capacity for extended use, including overnight care, reducing the need for frequent drainage.

• Splashguard Drain Spout: Engineered to prevent fluid splashing and contamination during the emptying process, promoting a cleaner clinical environment.

• Sterile & Disposable: Each unit is packaged sterile, ensuring the highest level of hygiene and readiness for immediate clinical application.

• Bedside Convenience: Includes a heavy-duty hanger/hook system that ensures secure, stable attachment to hospital bed frames.

Ideal Use Cases

• Intensive Care Units (ICU): Ideal for patients requiring precise, hourly monitoring of urinary function.

• Post-Operative Care: An essential device for surgical patients whose fluid balance must be tightly regulated.

• Critical Care Monitoring: Suitable for patients with complex medical needs that require exact output data for treatment adjustments.

Directions for Use

1. Setup: Secure the bag to the hospital bed frame using the integrated hanger. Ensure the unit hangs vertically below the level of the bladder to allow for gravity flow.

2. Connection: Aseptically attach the tubing to the indwelling catheter.

3. Monitoring: Observe the 400mL meter for precise output measurements. Once full, the meter can be drained into the 2L collection reservoir.

4. Sampling: Use the Luer-slip needle-free port to obtain urine samples, ensuring the area is swabbed with alcohol prior to access.

5. Emptying: Use the splashguard spout to empty the 2L reservoir into a clinical waste system, maintaining a firm grip on the spout to prevent spills.

6. Disposal: Dispose of the unit as clinical waste after the specified duration of use.

Important Safety/Storage Information

• Sterility: Do not use if the primary sterile packaging is compromised, torn, or expired.

• Gravity Flow: Always keep the drainage system below the level of the bladder to prevent retrograde flow and potential infection.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry area. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which may degrade the medical-grade plastic.

• Single-Use: This device is for single-patient, single-use only. Reuse can lead to severe bacterial contamination and systemic infection.
