Urinary Retention, Neurogenic Bladder, Urologic Diseases
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for Urinary Retention focused on measuring Spinal Cord Injury (SCI),, Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD), Catheter associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI), Urinary Catheters, Urinary Retention, Enlarged Prostate, Prostate cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males age ≥ 18 with clinical diagnosis of significant urinary retention
Must be clinically suitable and capable of safely managing bladder using an intermittent voiding or indwelling strategy
Must have stable urinary management history as determined by the Investigator
OR:
Must have urodynamic profile suitable for the Gen 2 Connected Catheter (including bladder capacity > 200mL without uninhibited bladder contractions)
- Subject's lower urinary tract anatomy must fall within the ranges serviceable by the Gen 2 Connected Catheter device, as specified in the Investigational Device Instructions for use (IFU)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active symptomatic urinary tract infection (UTI), as defined in this protocol (subjects may receive the device after UTI has been treated)
- Significant risk profile or recent history of urethral stricture (e.g. stricture within past 90 days)
- Significant risk profile or recent history of clinically significant (uncontrolled) autonomic dysreflexia (AD)
- Significant intermittent urinary incontinence (between catheterizations)
- Uninhibited bladder contractions and/or Vesicoureteral reflux that is not reliably controlled with medication or alternate therapy (e.g. Botox injections)
Pre-existing urinary pathologies and/or morphological abnormalities of the lower urinary tract or bladder (assessed during in-depth medical screening, including cystoscopy and urine analysis)
- Urinary tract inflammation or neoplasm
- Urinary fistula
- Bladder diverticulum (outpouching) > 5cm in size
- Chronic pyelonephritis (secondary to upper urinary tract infection(s) within past 6 months)
- Impaired kidney function or renal failure
- Active gross hematuria
- Active urethritis
- Bladder stones
- Dependence on an electro-magnetic medical implant (e.g. cardiac pacemaker or implanted drug pump) or external device
- Any unsuitable comorbidities as determined by the investigator or complications related to use of certain medications
- Any physical or cognitive impairments that diminish the subject's ability to follow directions or otherwise safely use the Connected Catheter System
- Catheter Assessment Tool screening yields unacceptable results
