Swiss MedTech · Critical care monitoring

One vital sign in intensive care is still measured by hand.

In today's intensive care unit, every major vital sign is monitored electronically — except urine output. Diuriflux is changing that with a Swiss-made automated system for continuous, dual-sensing measurement at the bedside.

Why it matters

The measurement the ICU still does on paper.

Measurement of fluid flow is crucial in physiologic studies and in clinical situations. Yet in today's intensive care unit, every major vital sign is tracked by a connected device — except urine output, which is still collected in a bag and transcribed by a nurse, hour after hour.

"The only parameter not measured automatically in hospital is urine output." — Diuriflux founders

Manual urine collection bag at a hospital bedside

Today's reality

Hourly transcription. Manual handling. Late, noisy data.

Meet Diuricheck

Continuous. Connected. Cross-checked.

Diuricheck is a compact bedside device with a central display, capturing both the total volume and the hourly flow of urine output — automatically, with two independent sensing technologies working in parallel.

01 — Collect

It replaces the manual bag.

Diuricheck slots into the existing urinary catheter circuit. No catheter change, no new procedure, no retraining. The device sits on the bed frame, where the bag used to hang.

02 — Measure

It cross-checks two physical principles.

A precision weighing chamber (dynamometric sensing) and a dielectric fluid-level sensor (capacitive sensing) work in parallel. Two independent measurements, reconciled in real time — for a higher level of reliability.

03 — Connect

It streams to every screen that matters.

The bedside unit links wirelessly to a central monitor and integrates with the hospital information system via the HL7 standard. Volume, hourly flow, alerts — wherever the team is looking.

Bedside installation

Dual redundant sensing

Two independent measurement principles, cross-checked in real time. Unique in the segment.

Volume & hourly flow

Captures the two parameters clinicians actually use to assess renal function and fluid balance.

Wireless & HL7-ready

Secure wireless link to a central monitor. Native integration into hospital information systems.

Drop-in workflow

Designed to slot into existing ICU practice without adding procedural complexity. Automation where it helps.

Science & IP

Peer-reviewed evidence. Protected technology.

Our work has been the subject of a peer-reviewed publication, and the core architecture is covered by a patent family. More material is available to qualified partners on request.

Intellectual property Patent diagram

Body fluid meter assembly — patent family.

The Diuricheck architecture is covered by a patent family. The foundational European application was published in 2020 and protects the core dual-sensing design.

Validation

In-vitro validation across the full flow range.

The dual-sensing architecture has been validated under controlled bench conditions, including the critical low-flow regime where single-principle systems have historically been most fragile.

Our story

Founded by two doctors who noticed what was missing.

Diuriflux is a pure Swiss company, founded by two cardiology doctors — one of whom is also active in intensive care. In their daily practice, they noticed the one gap that connected monitoring had left untouched: urine output.

From that observation came a simple conviction: the measurement needed to be automated, reliable, and connected . The team assembled the engineering and clinical expertise to build it, and Diuricheck is the result.

The company is Swiss-based. The engineering is Swiss. The clinical rationale is grounded in intensive-care reality.

"We looked at the ICU around us and asked a simple question: why is this one measurement still done by hand? Diuricheck is our answer." The founding team
