GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Urocap™ IV uses Uroflowmetry as a form of Urodynamic testing. The urinary flow rate and volume are

Data acquisition occurs as the transducer collects and processes data, which is displayed via the Urocap™ IV
software application. It prints the data in graphical form through the Urocap™ IV software or the i-LIST™ Office
