Stream Dx Uroflow System
j
The Stream Dx Uroflow System includes both a device and a secure web portal which provides
urine voiding reports for physicians. The Stream Dx Uroflow system is designed to allow
physicians to order a device and have it sent to a patient for use in the comfort of
the patient’s
home. The in-home device can collect a voiding diary which includes volume, flow rate, and time
of voiding events over a five-day period.
The device consists of two
parts, the containment “
Sleeve,
”
and the
electronic “
Puck.
”
The Sleeve
and Puck combine to create the urine collection vessel. When a patient is finished using the
device for the designated time, they will dispose of the Sleeve and return the Puck using a prepaid
envelope. The data will be uploaded to the Stream Dx Cloud once the device arrives at the Stream
Dx facility and the reports will be generated as soon as the data is uploaded. The uroflow reports
include a super trace of all flow traces, a Liverpool nomogram, an IPSS survey (if provided by the
patient), three super traces of flow rates broken down by time, daily volume voiding diaries, a
coding summary, and graphs representing each individual uroflow.
Stream Dx is primarily intended to capture data in the patient’s home and provide the data to
physicians as an aid in developing treatment plans. The ability to capture urine flow data outside
the clinic will lead to improved quality of data (due to collecting data in a more natural
environment), improved patient convenience, improved clinic workflow, and a larger amount of
data available to the physician leading to greater statistical significance in diagnosis.
There is one model of the Stream Dx System: Version 1.
