简要总结
Crossover comparison of different flow meters with a digital home flow meter as a reference. Main hypothesis: Reapeated home flow measurements with a disposable device will provide a better understanding of the patients urinary flow than a single measurement performed in the clinic.

结局指标
主要结局
Mean Urine Flow Rate
时间窗: At every voiding event during approximately one week.
Measurements with a disposable device and the current clinic gold standard measurement were compared to test the hypothesis that three repeated measurements with the disposable device was as accurate as one clinic flow measurement. A digital device was used as a reference of the most exact way to evaluate each patient's individual flow.
