This would depend on the medications and fluids the person is receiving. Generally, the minimum amount is 30cc per hour. There is not a maximum. The Foley catheter is in the bladder and drains the urine that is present in the bladder. The amount in the bladder depends on whether the person is receiving high volumes of IV fluids or medications to decrease the volume of fluid in the bloodstream. Both of these would increase the volume of urine.
An example of this would be a person in congestive heart failure. He/she would be given a drug called a diuretic which would increase the amount of urine produced to decrease the work for the heart. The diuretic increases urine production to decrease the excess fluid in the bloodstream. There are also medical conditions that cause excess urine production. It is most important to measure overall volume in compared to volume out.
Therefore, the answer regarding the volume of urine is really dependent on the other factors involved in the person's medical condition and their drugs.

Is a heart cath a surgical procedure?
Putting in a foley is a sterile procedure. However, it is not surgery. A Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter. It is held in place with a balloon at the end, which is filled with sterile water to hold it in place. The urine drains into a bag and can then be taken from an outlet device to be drained. Laboratory tests can be conducted on your urine to look for infection, blood, muscle breakdown, crystals, electrolytes, and kidney function. The procedure to insert a catheter is called catheterization. *See more information at the related links section*

You want to urinate directly on the pregnancy test strip. If you are using urine that has been sitting for a while, it isn't the temperature to be concerned about, as much as the length of time it has been sitting there. The amount of hCG concentrated in the urine decreases as it sits. So it is best to use fresh urine every time.
