The Signal Gear Urethral Catheter Electrode is intended for mucosal surface stimulation/recording from the external urinary sphincter for use in conjunction with urodynamic evaluation of the patient.

The Signal Gear Urethral Catheter Electrode is a single patient use, disposable sterile device. It consists of an adhesive, highly flexible, polyurethane film substrate that wraps around the urethral (Foley) catheter. The conductive portion of the electrode is printed onto the polyurethane film substrate in a pattern that, when the electrode is wrapped around the catheter, leaves two conductive contact surfaces forming the two electrical contacts of the electrode. The remainder of the conductive pattern is overwrapped by an additional layer of polyurethane film during manufacture in order to insulate the traces. The conductive ink used is silver, with the exception of the two electrical contacts of the electrode, which have an additional printed layer of gold ink. Lead wires are attached that terminate in a safety connector that cannot be connected to an AC power outlet. The Electrode connects to the user's electrodiagnostic equipment. The electrode is to be used under the supervision of a physician. When the urethral catheter with the applied electrode is inserted in the human urethra, the exposed two electrical contacts of the electrode contact the mucosal lining of the urethra in the location of the external urinary sphincter muscle, and the end of the electrode with leadwire attachments are outside of the urethral meatus.

The pressure sensor is for use in the long term weekly monitoring of full serial bladder (vesical) pressure in patients that perform regular clean intermittent catheterizations (CIC). Regular once per week long term monitoring of bladder pressure in patients at risk for developing high bladder pressures and urinary incontinence associated with, urinary tract infections (UTI), vesicoureteral reflux and renal insufficiency. The most significant source of urologic morbidity and mortality in patients with spinal conditions where CIC is used is renal failure secondary to upper tract deterioration from high bladder pressures. Cystometry (CMG) is an integral part in the urologic evaluation of patients prior to the use of this device. At no time is this device to be used in place of CMGs for diagnostics. Patients with CMG leak point pressures greater than 40 cm H20 are at significant risk for upper tract deterioration. The frequency and timing of CMG urodynamic studies in patients with spinal injuries continues to be controversial, but use of this device may insure that full CMGs or other suitable diagnostics are performed on a timely basis by the patients attending physician.

Single Channel Urological Pressure Gauge

The Urodynamic Analysis Module is a software program that has been designed to analyze pressure, volume and flow data recorded from the urological tract in pediatric and adult populations. The Urodynamic Analysis Module includes the following analyses: Uroflow analysis. Cystometry analysis, Pressure/flow voiding analysis, Urethral Pressure Profile. The program is to be used on a personal computer analyzing patient data in the hospital environment under supervision of a trained physiclan. The analyzed data can be viewed on the computer screen or printed out on a separate paper.

The Polygram Software for Windows (KD46322) was designed to record and handle/store physiological parameters. After a recording, the user is able to review the tracings on the computer screen and print the signal tracings or just parts of them. When reviewing the data on the computer screen, the user is able to mark certain segments and calculate certain parameters from the selected signal segments. These parameters include minimum and maximum values. length of selection. By adding the Urodynamic Analysis Module to the Polygram Software for Windows, the user can also have all the pressure, flow and volume data analyzed In terms of physiological properties, comparison with normal values, etc. The analyzed data can thereafter be viewed on screen or printed out on a separate paper. The analysis report includes sections such as patient demographics: interpretation and comment (for user to insert); procedure summary; Urodynamic tracing; analyses (as specified below); and physician signature section.

The Rüsch Urodynamic Rectal Balloon 2-way Catheter is intended to provide a fluid conduit for urodynamic studies, where the detrusor pressure is to be calculated from rectal pressure.

The Rusch Urodynamic Rectal Balloon 2-way Catheter consists of a double lumen polyvinyl chloride tube upon which is affixed a latex balloon, with a radiopaque stripe. To use, the balloon is inflated with sterile water using a luer taper syringe. The catheter is then connected to a transducer, and can be used in conjunction with equipment for calculating the detrusor pressure necessary to open the urinary sphincter).
