ABSTRACT:
A portable, self-contained medical diagnostic system is provided for assessing urinary function. The system includes a control device including a processor, a pump device, and a pressure sensor, and a test module removably coupled to the control device, and further including a pressure interface and a tubing assembly defining a first fluid conduit between a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet. The pump device is coupled to the first fluid conduit for pumping fluid therethrough. The system also includes an insert member having a first channel therethrough and coupled to the first fluid outlet so that fluid flowing through the first fluid conduit may flow through the first channel. The insert member is dimensioned for insertion into a patient's bladder through the urethral canal. When so inserted, the pressure interface transmits bladder pressure information to the pressure sensor.
