MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641082695 A) filed by Manipal Academy Of Higher Education on July 05, 2026, for A System And A Method For Determining Urinary Catheter Blockage.
Inventors include Sahajanya Srikanth; Mohammed Sameer Ahmed; Chandan B S; and Vineet.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100) and a method (300) for determining urinary catheter blockage from urinary flow data of a patient. The method (300) comprises receiving, by a processor (201), urinary flow data comprising pressure, volumetric flow rate, electrical impedance, and temperature from a plurality of sensors disposed in a disposable flow cartridge coupled to an indwelling urinary catheter, establishing, by the processor (201), an individualized hydraulic baseline for a patient during a first predetermined duration following catheter insertion, computing, by the processor (201), a plurality of hydraulic indices comprising a Biofilm Resistance Index, a Flow Stability Score, an Encrustation Progression Index, a Urinary Turbulence Signature, and a Catheter Occlusion Risk Score, generating, by the processor (201), a Composite Foley Health Score, and determining, by the processor (201), catheter blockage risk for a predetermined window of 24 to 72.
