Chronic wireless Urological Monitor of Conscious Activity (UroMOCA) implantation in feline bladder

Study purpose: This data was collected while testing bladder function using the Urological Monitor of Conscious Activity (UroMOCA) bladder sensor device. The dataset includes 3 cats chronically implanted with a wireless device (UroMOCA). The UroMOCA measures bladder function wirelessly and catheter-free in conscious ambulating animals.

Data collection: A wireless, active UroMOCA device was placed in the bladder of 3 subjects. The device was tested for its ability to wirelessly transmit bladder pressure, conductivity, and conductance in conscious ambulating animals.

Primary conclusion: The UroMOCA device was able to measure and transmit bladder function wirelessly and catheter-free in conscious ambulating animals for up to 1 month.

Curator's Notes

Experimental Design: This study used adult male short-haired cats that had a cystotomy, and then had a UroMOCA device placed in the bladder.

Completeness: This dataset is a part of a larger study: "A FitBit for the Bladder"

Subjects & Samples: This particular dataset used 68 to 123-week-old male Feline-Domestic short-haired cats (n=3). Measurements were taken in vivo.

Primary vs. Derivative: The primary folder consists of cystometry data as tabular csv files and CT images as ima files. A complete list of experimental procedures performed on each test subject is listed in the performance file. The derivative folder contains images of the device (jpg file extension), and cystometry data (xlsx).
