Urinary Catheter Management

A Catheter Problem at Home Shouldn’t Mean a Trip to the ER.

VitalWatch sends a Registered Nurse to your home to manage, change, and monitor your urinary catheter — so a potential blockage, leak, or early infection is handled before it becomes an emergency.

What We Monitor

health metrics can tell of a urinary problem before symptoms appear…

Your RN establishes your individual baseline, then monitors for deviation. When something shifts, they respond.

Blood Pressure

Tracked daily against your personal baseline — not a generic chart. Deviations trigger immediate clinical review.

Heart Rate

Regular monitoring can catch irregular rhythms and sudden spikes before symptoms appear.

Drainage & Output

Your RN tracks how the catheter is draining and flags reduced output before it backs up.

Signs of Infection

Cloudy or bloody drainage, discomfort, or fever — caught early, not at 2am in the ER.

Blockage & Leakage

If something changes, your RN responds in the home setting or offers guidance for next steps. Our goal is to keep you out of the ER, if possible.

How It Works

Your RN Sets Your Schedule

Your RN Health Manager sets a routine catheter-change and flushing schedule and knows your history.

02

24/7 Nurse Access

Between visits, you or your caregiver can reach a nurse by phone 24 hours a day.

03

Your RN Responds to Changes

If something changes — a leak, a blockage, a fever — your RN can respond in the home setting or provide guidance for next steps. The goal is to keep you out of the ER.
