Uroflowmetry System

uroflowmetry or urine flowmetry is one way of integrating the activity of the bladder and the outlet during the emptying phase of micturation. The micturation process consists of detrusor function of bladder neck opening and urethral conductivity. It can establish the type of abnormality and filter the patients who require further invasive procedures. Thus, it avoids under treatment in the younger age group & restricts overzealous invasive procedure in the older age group.

when the micturation process starts, a volume change is sensed by the microprocessor based device automatically, which determines and stores urinary volume, flow rate and time along with other parameters. At the end of micturation process the microprocessor based device programmed to determine parameters relating to urinary flow like voided volume, voiding time, flow time, maximum flow rate, average flow rate and time to maximum flow. It also provides the graphical flow curve of the micturation process by the means of flow rate v/s time. At the end of micturation process, by automatic preset delay, it gives a printout which consists of a graphical flow curve as well as statistics relating to parameters of urinary flow altogether with the patients information.
