Exploratory Investigation of Data Obtained From a Sensor Connected to an Intermittent Catheter

Exploratory Investigation of Data Obtained From a Sensor Connected to an Intermittent Catheter

The purpose of the investigational device in the proposed clinical investigation is to capture pressure data prior to and during voiding using a CE-marked commercially available catheter.

This clinical investigation is based on an open explorative design evaluating the sensor ability to record readable data in healthy volunteers and the extent of artifacts influencing data quality and readability in healthy volunteers.

Overall:

• Single arm. Open-labelled, not randomized
• Healthy volunteers

Duration:

Information visit:

Oral and written information about the evaluation is given by the PI or his/her representative. Subjects can continue to visit 0, inclusion visit, the same day - if the subject has decided on participation and if practically possible.

Visit 0 - Inclusion visit:

Informed consent signed. Subjects can continue to visit 1 - test visit the same day - if practically possible.

Visit 1 - test visit:

1h test visit at Rigshospitalet. Fertile females will be asked to perform a pregnancy test. Subject is asked about symptoms for urinary tract infections (frequent urination, stinging or pain at urination). If negative for these symptoms, the subject will be catheterised with (SpeediCath® Standard, male/female, Nelaton tip depending of the gender) with fitted pressure sensor. The urine is led into a standard urine flowmeter.

Inclusion Criteria:

2. Be at least 18 years of age and have full legal capacity

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previous history of genitourinary disease in-cluding congenital abnormalities and surgical procedures performed in the urinary tract
2. Symptoms of urinary tract infections (fre-quent urination, stinging and pain at urina-tion)
