A disposable urinary flowmeter (Peakometer) was evaluated in regard to accuracy of measurement and acceptability by patients. Laboratory tests of measurement accuracy were made with five Peakometers as recordings of maximum flow rate and voided volume. The accuracy was found to be acceptable. A minimum voided volume of 200 ml is recommended for a reasonably exact recording of maximum flow rate. Ten patients aged 28-86 years tested the acceptability of the Peakometer. All were able to use the apparatus correctly and to register maximum flow rate and voided volume of urine in accordance with written standardized instructions. The disposable flowmeter can be recommended for patients who live far from their hospital, thus saving time and transport costs. Clinics with relatively few patients requiring urinary flow studies may use the disposable flowmeters, instead of investing in relatively expensive electronic apparatus.
对一种一次性尿流计（峰值流量计）进行了测量准确性及患者可接受性方面的评估。用五台峰值流量计对测量准确性进行了实验室测试，记录最大尿流率和排尿量。结果发现准确性是可接受的。建议排尿量至少为200毫升，以便合理准确地记录最大尿流率。10名年龄在28至86岁的患者测试了峰值流量计的可接受性。所有患者都能按照书面标准化说明正确使用该仪器，并记录尿液的最大尿流率和排尿量。对于住得离医院较远的患者，可推荐使用一次性尿流计，这样可以节省时间和交通费用。对于需要进行尿流研究的患者相对较少的诊所，可以使用一次性尿流计，而不必投资购买相对昂贵的电子设备。
