Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to confirm the results of previous testing of Urodynamix's Uro-NIRS device. Together Urodynamix and Laborie have created a device that includes standard Laborie medical equipment and the experimental Urodynamix device. Collectively this integrated device is considered an investigational device, and the results from this study may be used to support a submission to the US Food and Drug Administration for the approval of the integrated device.

This research is being done because we want to test the ability of the integrated Laborie and Urodynamix device to provide a non-invasive method to provide additional information to assist with the diagnosis of or treatment plan of patients suffering from urinary problems. The current technologies rely solely on the measurement of internal pressures of the bladder, which involves the insertion of catheter into the subject's urethra.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Fully integrated Uro-NIRS:UDS

As part of standard care subjects will be undergoing a standard bladder pressure diagnostic procedure. This standard procedure will involve the insertion of a catheter (a plastic tube) into the urethra and the measurement of pressure within the bladder. For subjects taking part in this study, the health of the bladder will measured by using light instead of pressure. A patch, the size of cell phone or deck of playing cards, will be taped to the skin in the middle of the abdomen, above the bladder. Using laser light that is 300 billion times weaker than the light from a regular household 100-Watt light bulb, the Laborie and Urodynamix device will take measurements through the skin without inserting anything into the body.
