Intended Use
The Uropower is a urine flow and volume measuring system intended for lay use to measure the urine volume and flow of men during the course of normal urination. The device is also intended to be used by health care professionals.
Device Description
The Uropower is a device intended to measure the urine flow and calculate the volume of males in order to identify micturition disturbances. It is designed to be used by health care professionals and by laymen. The system consists of a base unit, a urinal-flow-transducer and various mount elements. Due to its construction the transducer can be installed in a urinal. The user is guided by instructions shown on the LCD display of the base unit. The urinal flow transducer measures the flow of the urine in accordance with the through-flow-principle, a volume per time measurement. The base unit calculates the total voided volume, maximum flow rate, mean flow rate, total measuring time, time, time to max, flow and medical data like the flow index. All parameters are printed on a thermo card.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard measurement principles (through-flow-principle) and calculations of basic flow parameters. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities.

No
The device is described as a measuring system to identify micturition disturbances by measuring urine flow and volume, not to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The device is described as intended to "identify micturition disturbances," which implies a diagnostic purpose by identifying abnormalities or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a base unit, a urinal-flow-transducer, and various mount elements, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Uropower device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze specimens taken from the human body. The Uropower measures the flow and volume of urine as it is being voided. It does not analyze the chemical composition or other properties of the urine itself.
  • The intended use and device description focus on measuring the physical characteristics of urination (flow and volume). This is a functional measurement, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, the Uropower falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 876.1800 Urine flow or volume measuring system.

(a)
Identification. A urine flow or volume measuring system is a device that measures directly or indirectly the volume or flow of urine from a patient, either during the course of normal urination or while the patient is catheterized. The device may include a drip chamber to reduce the risk of retrograde bacterial contamination of the bladder and a transducer and electrical signal conditioning and display equipment. This generic type of device includes the electrical urinometer, mechanical urinometer, nonelectric urinometer, disposable nonelectric urine flow rate measuring device, and uroflowmeter.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.
