Prevention of bacteriuria during urinary catheterization of patients in an intensive care unit: evaluation of the 'Ureofix 500' closed drainage system.

In a consecutive study of 1088 patients admitted to a general intensive care unit the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection amongst 512 patients managed with a conventional urine meter drainage system was 26.8%. Introduction of a new closed urine drainage system incorporating a urine meter 'Ureofix 500' enabled a reduction of catheter-associated infection to 12.2% of 576 patients. The unique design of the 'Ureofix 500' system fulfils the criteria for use in the intensive care unit and affords significant protection against catheter-associated urinary tract infection in the high risk patient.
