AMBULATORY URODYNAMICS A Brief Overview
The name “The Cuillin” derives from a prominent mountain range on the Isle Of Skye in Scotland.
During conventional urodynamics the bladder is artificially filled quite quickly and pressures are recorded over a relatively short time with the aim of diagnosing the cause of the patient’s symptoms. This typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes. However this is not always conclusive, or the investigation may not be successful for some reason, or it may not be suitable for a particular patient.

The aim is to try and replicate the symptoms under more “normal” circumstances. The basic principles are the same as conventional urodynamics except that different catheters and transducers may be used. Everything is recorded on a battery operated highly portable recorder that is worn by the patient. After catheters have been inserted the patient is fully clothed and engages in near normal activity. The Cuillin Nanologger is manufactured and designed in Britain, and Gaeltec (Gaeltec Devices Ltd) is British owned and run.

In its basic configuration for ambulatory urodynamics, the Cuillin records two pressures: rectal and intravesical. There is a simple hand held button that the patient uses to mark urge episodes or other events. Pressure measurements can be made by using Gaeltec catheter tip transducers or by external water perfused transducers worn by the patient. A flowmeter can be added. When the patient needs to void, a flowmeter is connected and the flow is added to the recording. In its basic configuration for ambulatory urodynamics, Cuillin records two pressures, rectal and intravesical. This enables detrusor behaviour during voiding to be seen along with the flow pattern.
