System and method for assessing urinary function
First Claim
1. A test module for coupling with a control device to form a portable system for assessing urinary function, comprising:
- a test module housing;
at least one coupling element for removably coupling the test module housing to the control device;
a tubing assembly including a first fluid conduit extending from a fluid inlet located exterior of the test module housing, to a first portion located entirely within the test module housing, to a second portion that is exposed to an exterior of the test module housing at an upper side thereof, back through the test module housing to a fluid outlet located exterior of the test module housing;
a pressure interface in fluid communication with at least a portion of the tubing assembly;
wherein when the test module is coupled to the control device, the pressure interface is positioned relative to a pressure sensor in the control device so as to transmit pressure data thereto.

Abstract
A test module is provided for coupling with a control device to form a portable system for assessing urinary function. The test module includes a test module housing, at least one coupling element for removably coupling the test module to the control device, a tubing assembly located at least partially within the test module housing, and a pressure interface in fluid communication with at least a portion of the tubing assembly. When the test module is coupled to the control device, the pressure interface is positioned relative to a pressure sensor in the control device so as to transmit pressure data thereto. The tubing assembly may also couple with a pump device in the control device so as to enable the pump device to pump fluid through the tubing assembly.
