Cystoealstometer (Bladder Monitor Device)-Home Use
Sponsor: University of Iowa
Summary
The investigators have developed a novel pressure monitoring device called a 'cystoelastometer' that connects to a drainage end ofastandard 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 in measuring bladder pressure compared to the gold standard urodynamics that are performed in the clinic or hospital. This study will assess the patients and care givers ability and experience using the cystoelastometer device in a home setting.

Cystoelastometer - Urodynamics Testing
The non-invasive cystoelastometer device connects to the drainage end of urinary catheter that the patient uses for routine daily catheterization. Once urine flows into the device a pressure measurement is recorded and stored in the device along with the time and date. The remaining urine is then evacuated through the catheter and device and the cystoelastometer records the volume of urine evacuated. The measurement(s) of bladder pressure and volume as well as the time and date can later be transmitted wirelessly to a smart phone that contains an app for the device.
