    A simple purge size rotameter offers an affordable, non-invasive way to measure maximum urinary flow rates. This method effectively identifies patients with lower urinary tract abnormalities, aiding in diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Medical Devices
    • Diagnostic Methods

    Background:

    • Lower urinary tract abnormalities (LUTS) can significantly impact quality of life.
    • Accurate diagnosis of obstructive or neurogenic LUTS is crucial for effective management.
    • Current diagnostic methods may be invasive or costly.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of a purge size rotameter for determining maximum urinary flow rates.
    • To assess the utility of this device in identifying patients with obstructive or neurogenic LUTS.
    • To establish an inexpensive and non-invasive diagnostic approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a purge size rotameter to measure maximum urinary flow rates.
    • Employed the device in a clinical setting for patient selection.
