CT3000plus™ with UroCuff™ Test
The CT3000Plus is the most comprehensive system to date for the diagnosis of voiding disorders. It features the UroCuff™ Test for non-invasive pressure-flow studies, as well as catheter-based urodynamics with the only electronic leak-point detector, 2-channel EMG and wireless uroflow scale/s. Inexpensive options include ultrasound for abdominal imaging and high-accuracy bladder volume measurement, and biofeedback for pelvic muscle rehabilitation.
“The CT3000Plus is a uniquely capable urodiagnostic workstation and the UroCuff Test meets a longstanding need for accurate, non-invasive assessment,” says Lee Brody, CEO of SRS Medical. “Many men who have been reluctant to undergo the catheterization necessary for conventional urodynamics can now be tested quickly and comfortably. We are proud to be part of such a significant advance in diagnostic technology.”
The CT3000Plus provides a unique variety of urodiagnostics in order to match tests to the patient. Catheter-based urodynamics is a general purpose tool set that can provide diagnostic data regarding virtually all lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in any patient, regardless of age, gender or medical condition. It is the gold standard for LUTS diagnosis, but not all patients are willing or able to be catheterized. The UroCuff Test provides a non-invasive alternative for a specific patient population with a specific presenting symptom, older men with poor urine flow.
Clinical Background: Poor urine flow in older men is often assumed to be result of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) related to enlarged prostate, but it can also be the result of low bladder contractility. History, symptom assessment and flow rate are not sufficient to determine which is the cause. (The clinical literature indicates that some 30% of patients undergoing prostate surgery fail to get symptomatic relief. ) Bladder pressure measurement is also needed for definitive diagnosis, but many men are reluctant to undergo the catheterization that has been necessary. The UroCuff Test is the first non-invasive test clinically proven to accurately measure male voiding pressure.
The patented UroCuff Test measures bladder pressure with a penile cuff (like a blood pressure cuff) instead of a catheter and is backed by extensive clinical documentation. To learn more about the clinical background and documentation of the UroCuff Test, please visit www.urocufftest.com
Electronic Leak-Point Detector: Although leak-point is one of the key measurements in urodynamics, it depends on the clinician seeing a leak and then reacting. The SRS Medical LPD-3d increases the accuracy of leak-point detection by replacing hand-switches with a patented electronic sensor that automatically detects leaks. It slips around any 5-10 Fr catheter and slides up to the meatus; at the first drop of urine, the LPD-3d reliably marks the event.
Hardware: The CT3000Plus is a turnkey system that includes a 17” touch-screen panel PC and instrument console on an attractive, compact cart, as well as a Bluetooth (wireless) printer. Two configurations are standard: 1) Base Version with UroCuff Test, and 2) Extended Version with Infusion Pump and cables for T-Doc air-charged urodynamics catheters.
Software: The CT3000Plus includes Clarity™ uDx software, a powerful, but easy-to-use program that seamlessly integrates the variety of urodiagnostics tests. Clarity uDx features a simple, consistent touch-screen interface that guides the clinician step-by-step through each test, simplifying and standardizing operation. In addition, all data reside in one database so that the CT3000Plus with Clarity uDx can act as a single EMR node for all tests.
