被験者の膀胱(122)から下流に尿を運ぶように構成された導管(371)と共に使用するための装置(129)は、導管(371)に可逆的に結合し、導管(371)に結合されたときに導管(371)に力を加えるように構成された１つ以上の力付与要素(22,350,352)を含む。装置(129)はさらに、力付与要素(22,350,352)が導管(371)に力を加え、それによって導管(371)から下流方向に尿を押し進めるように力付与要素(22,350,352)を制御し、力付与要素(22,350,352)の制御に基づいて押し進められた尿の量を計算するように構成されたコントローラ(125)を含む。他の実施形態についても説明する。 An apparatus (129) for use with a conduit (371) that is configured to carry urine downstream from a bladder (122) of a subject includes one or more force-applying elements (22, 350, 352) configured to reversibly couple to the conduit (371) and apply force to the conduit (371) when coupled to the conduit (371). The apparatus (129) further includes a controller (125) configured to control the force-applying elements (22, 350, 352) such that the force-applying elements (22, 350, 352) apply the force to the conduit (371), thereby forcing the urine from the conduit (371) in a downstream direction, and to calculate a volume of the urine that was forced, based on the controlling of the force-applying elements (22, 350, 352). Other embodiments are also described.
