FIZE Medical is taking a clear step into the Japanese market by teaming up with Asahi Kasei Medical to roll out its FIZE kUO system. This is not a cosmetic partnership. Asahi Kasei already has deep roots in blood treatment technologies and hospital networks in Japan, so FIZE gets instant reach and credibility without trying to build it from scratch.
The kUO system turns urine output into a live digital signal that can be tracked, analysed, and actually used in day to day clinical decisions. Right now most ICUs still rely on manual checks and delayed readings. FIZE is pushing for something more current and more useful so clinicians can read kidney function as it changes, not hours later. That matters in critical care where hemodynamic stability can shift fast and decisions depend on clean data, not guesswork.

Japan’s hospitals are already leaning into tech that reduces workload and sharpens clinical insight. This launch fits that direction without overpromising. It gives the market a tool that turns a basic measurement into actionable information while FIZE moves one step closer to being a global player rather than a niche startup talking about potential.
