1. Indications

The remote multi-day complex uroflowmetry procedure is indicated for patients presenting with various lower urinary tract symptoms. These symptoms may include:

• Slow Urine Stream Patients who experience a reduced flow rate during urination, which may indicate underlying urinary tract issues.
• Difficulty Urinating Individuals who have trouble initiating urination, which can be a sign of obstruction or other urinary dysfunctions.

2. Procedure

The procedure for remote multi-day complex uroflowmetry involves several key steps to ensure accurate data collection and patient compliance. The steps include:

• Set-Up of Equipment The healthcare provider will prepare the calibrated electronic uroflowmetry equipment, ensuring it is functioning correctly and ready for use. This may involve connecting the device to a urinal or toilet to facilitate the collection of urine data during the patient's normal urination process.
• Patient Education The provider will educate the patient on how to use the uroflowmetry equipment. This includes instructions on how to activate the device before urination and how to ensure that it is properly positioned to capture accurate measurements. The patient will also be informed about the duration of the monitoring period and what to expect during the 10-day assessment.

3. Post-Procedure

After the completion of the remote multi-day complex uroflowmetry procedure, the patient will continue to use the equipment as instructed for the designated monitoring period. It is essential for the patient to follow the guidelines provided during the education session to ensure the accuracy of the data collected. Once the monitoring period concludes, the equipment will generate an automated report summarizing the findings, which will be reviewed by the healthcare provider to assist in diagnosing any underlying urinary conditions. Patients may be advised to schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the results and any necessary further evaluations or treatments.
