The FST 200 system offers accurate and reproducible pressure measurements for urodynamic studies. Its portable design and small catheter size enable minimally invasive transurethral monitoring and advanced voiding assessments.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Urodynamic studies are crucial for diagnosing lower urinary tract conditions.
  • Accurate pressure measurement is essential for reliable urodynamic assessments.
  • Existing systems may have limitations in portability, accuracy, or invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe the FST 200, a novel pressure measurement system.
  • To evaluate the suitability of the FST 200 for invasive urodynamic studies.
  • To highlight the technical advantages of the FST 200 for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • The FST 200 system utilizes microtechnology and fiberoptics for pressure sensing.
  • The system employs a 5F catheter for transurethral monitoring.

  • Technical aspects and performance characteristics of the FST 200 were documented.

    • Main Results:

    • The FST 200 provides highly accurate and reproducible pressure recordings.
    • Pressure curves generated by the FST 200 correlate well with standard water cystometry.
    • The system's small size and portability facilitate in-office urodynamic assessments.
    • The 5F catheter minimizes urethral stenting artifact during leak point pressure and pressure/flow studies.

    Conclusions:

    • The FST 200 is a well-suited system for invasive urodynamic evaluations.
    • Its accuracy, reproducibility, and user-friendly design enhance diagnostic capabilities.
    • The FST 200 offers a practical solution for transurethral pressure monitoring and voiding studies.
