Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Underage, Diseases / preoperations of the bladder, urinary tract infection, Suffering functional disorder of the bladder, Renal disease leading to urine production of less than 500ml / 24h or polyuria> 4l / 24h, Renal insufficiency (GFR 29), Diabetes mellitus / insipidus, Fear of electrical devices (electrophobia), pregnancy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Single evaluation of which electrode arrangment is best suited for continuous impedance-based determination of the bladder volume, as well as data collection to evaluate whether accurate knowledge of the body geometry is required for the method.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Furthermore, all safety-relevant data are documented.
