    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Diagnostic Technology

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of urinary flow rate is crucial for diagnosing lower urinary tract symptoms.
    • Existing uroflowmetry devices can be expensive and complex, limiting accessibility.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a simple, inexpensive uroflowmeter for clinical use.
    • To assess the feasibility of using a carbon dioxide cystometer for urinary flow measurement.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel uroflowmeter was designed utilizing a standard carbon dioxide cystometer.
    • A specialized collection container was connected to the cystometer, allowing urine voiding under controlled carbon dioxide flow.
    • Calibration was performed using fluid volume (500 cc) to paper deflection (20 mm), enabling measurement of voided volume and time.
