Specifications
iUFlow measuring accuracy and specifications
iUFlow measures uroflowmetry parameters in a single urination event by a user with the following accuracy;
Volume measurement:

  • Measuring range: 50 to 750 ml (Total Flow Volume)
  • Accuracy: +/- 5% or +/- 10 ml (Whichever is greater)

Flowrate measurement:

  • Measuring range: 5 to 50 ml/s
  • Accuracy: +/- 5% or +/- 1 ml/s (Whichever is greater)

iUFlow also measures and records the urination flowrate as it varies throughout the urination event. For each urination event, the user can access a graph showing the flowrate (ml/s) as a function of time (seconds) as well as the following parameters:

  • The total flow duration (i.e. Voiding time, Flow time) (seconds);
  • The average flowrate (ml/s);
  • The highest instantaneous flowrate (i.e. Qmax) (MI/s); and
  • The time to the highes: instantaneous flowrate (i.e. TQmax) (seconds).

Energy exchange
iUFlow neither delivers energy to the user’s body, nor does it extract energy from the user’s body in any way or form.
iUFlow, however, includes one CR2032 battery (non-replaceable) to power its electronics. The battery and the electronics are housed in a secure sealed compartment which is insulated so as to prevent any contact with the user.
iUFlow is designed so that the electronics compartment is NOT exposed to water and/or urine.
Substance exchange
iUFlow neither delivers any substance to the user’s body, nor does it extract any substance from the Lser’s body. iUFlow is activated by urine from the user; however, that urine is not extracted by the device, but rather flows naturally as in everyday life urination
