About this trial

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.
