Oruba Technology & Innovation (Langenfeld, Germany) is showcasing its innovative self-operating uroflowmeter, Oruflow, including both the urinal and toilet versions, at MEDICA 2024.

Oruflow is the world’s first self-operating uroflowmeter. As a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic device, it eases and accelerates the uroflowmetry process in a hygienic and comfortable atmosphere, making it a crucial part of every hospital and urology clinic. Oruba Oruflow is available in two versions for urology clinics – the Oruflow i POC diagnostic urinal and the Oruflow h POC diagnostic toilet. Both the devices feature an on-board screen to assist patients before and after examinations. The patient can receive the results of the examination in seconds without any operator guidance. The patient uses the hospital barcode to let Oruba Oruflow save the examination report into the hospital information system automatically.

The Oruflow h features a specially designed adapter enabling accurate and comfortable uroflowmetry testing for individuals of all gender types and ages. This ergonomic adapter is designed to accommodate anatomical differences such as the urination posture of women, ensuring a seamless and user-friendly experience. This adaptor is also suitable for children, providing the same level of comfort and accuracy. Oruflow h introduces a groundbreaking feature: The anatomical design of the toilet which separates stool and urine. With this feature, Oruflow h continues working even after accidental defecation, ensuring reliable performance in all conditions.

Both the Oruflow models have an EMG (electromyography) option, which provides synchronized uroflowmetry and EMG measurements. While the Oruflow measures the urine flow rate, the EMG module measures the electrical activity of the muscles before, during, and after urination to evaluate urinary problems. In biofeedback, EMG results are displayed using a bird game interface which is also virtual reality-compatible. When the patient contracts their muscles, the bird flaps. The doctor can change the scale and see the results synchronously.
