The device described in this document provides a method for easily converting a urinary catheter to one that will monitor pressure changes in the anchoring balloon allowing safe deflation if a patient intentionally or unintentionally pulls on the catheter with such force that would otherwise cause traumatic injury to the urethra. The device would sound an alarm in such cases of forced removal. The device would secondarily allow monitoring of insertion date, and intraabdominal pressures among other things due to the electronic storage, display, and communication capabilities.
