18 Claims

1. A portable handheld uroflowmeter comprising:

a flow chamber configured to receive a direct flow of urine and continuously discharge the urine through an outlet defined in the flow chamber as the urine is received;

a handle detachably coupled to the flow chamber and configured to selectively position the flow chamber to receive the flow of urine;

a magnet associated with the flow chamber and configured to move in response to the flow or a level of urine in the flow chamber;

a sensor adjacent the magnet and configured to detect a movement of the magnet;

a buoyant float within the flow chamber, the buoyant float positionable according to the level of urine within the flow chamber; and

an arm connecting the buoyant float and the magnet, such that a change in a position of the buoyant float causes the movement of the magnet in response to the level of urine in the flow chamber.
