Brief Summary

This post-market study will assess the performance of and user satisfaction with the PureWick™ Male External Catheter in a home setting. The study will also observe safety of the study device and collect information from participants about their experience using the device.

Conditions

Urinary Incontinence

Keywords

Male External Catheter; Urine Output Management; Nocturia; Nocturnal Enuresis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Capture rate following void (captured as % of urine captured by device and collected in canister, measured by weight).

  Prior to each nightly use, the weight of the empty urine collection canister and the weight of a dry absorbent pad are collected. Participants use the device overnight while sleeping with the absorbent pad underneath them. The next morning, the post-void weight of the urine collection canister and the post-void weight of the absorbent pad are collected. Capture rate is calculated as the weight of captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) / total urine volume (captured urine (post-void canister weight - pre-void canister weight) + leaked urine (post-void pad weight - pre-void pad weight)) \* 100.

  From enrollment up to 14 days of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Number of device-related adverse events requiring medical intervention

  From enrollment up to 14 days of treatment

• Participant Device Satisfaction

  Day 7 and Day 14, or at the time of treatment discontinuation, whichever comes first.

• Participant Device Preference

  Day 15, or at the time of study discontinuation, whichever comes first.

• Participant Sleep Quality

  Starting at baseline and then after Day 7 and after Day 14

Other Outcomes (1)

• Device Adherence/Dislodgement

  From enrollment up to 14 days of treatment
