The Mictiograph — a New Principle in the Measurement and Recording of Urinary Flow

Abstract

A. We developed the “Mictiograph 7005”, a new uroflowmeter, in the Urolo, Clinic of the Technical University of Munich on the suggestion of the first meetk urologists on measuring uroflow, held in December 1969 in Aix-la-Chapelle, new operating principle of this uroflowmeter fulfils all conditions for exact mea; ment, i.e.:

• 1. Measurement without delay;

• 2. Exclusion of the energy of the urinary flow bounding upon the uroflowmeter;

• 3. Independence of temperature and acidity of the urine.

• 4. Bubbles are eliminated and even if they are not, it is unimportant.

• 5. Psychic effects on micturition are only slight.

• 6. Compatibility with most available recorders.

• 7. Normally output on flow rate is linear, but if required the pathologic range may be sprawled and the normal one reduced.

• 8. The uroflowmeter can be used in examintation of men, women and childre

• 9. There are no cleaning problems.
