Evaluation of Male and Female External Catheters for Urine Output Monitoring in the ICU

The goal of this observational pilot study is to learn about the ability of the PureWick® Flex Female External Catheter and the PureWIck® Male External Catheter to capture urine output in adult ICU patients compared to indwelling urinary catheters. The study will also gather feedback from ICU clinicians about the suitability of PureWick® urine output data to inform clinical decision-making.

Provision of a signed and dated informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: 1. Frequent episodes of bowel incontinence without a fecal management system in place; or 2.

Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude them from participating in the study
