Measurement of Bladder Pressure With a Novel External Device (Cystomanometer) - Home Use
Sponsor: Christopher Cooper
Summary
The investigators have developed a novel pressure monitoring device that hooks to standard urinary catheters that are used by patients with a neurogenic bladder on daily clean intermittent catheterization. The device has already been demonstrated to be accurate compared to the gold standard in clinic urodynamics. This study will assess the patients and care givers ability and experience using the device in a home setting.

Interventions
Urodynamics Testing
The non-invasive device connects to the end of urinary catheter that the patient uses for routine daily catheterization. Once urine flows into the device the patient presses a single button in order to obtain a pressure measurement which is recorded and stored in the device along with the time and date. The measurement(s) can later be transmitted wirelessly to a smart phone that contains an app for the device.
