New bladder urine volume measurement device to be launched in Japan

2022/12/12

Lilium Otsuka (Head Office: Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan; President and representative director: Isao Shirasaki) has developed a new bladder urine volume measurement device Lilium one® by utilizing the development know-how of A-mode ultrasound technology.

Lilium Otsuka has been manufacturing and selling the successor product Lilium® IP200 as a medical device since the launch of Lilium® α-200 in 2015, and Lilium one® was developed as a strategic product with an eye toward overseas markets. We will cultivate it as a flagship product in the future.

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, Inc. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and representative director: Shinichi Ogasawara) will exclusively market the product in Japan on March 1, 2023.

The Lilium® IP200 has functions for continuous measurement (monitoring) and single measurement of urine volume in the bladder, but since it is often used for single measurement, we have been developing the Lilium one® as a product specialized for single measurement, reflecting user needs.

By increasing the number of ultrasonic sensors compared to our previous product line, Lilium one® captures the entire bladder by placing it just above the pubic symphysis in the midline, and measurement is completed in approximately 5 seconds.

Design

  • ・One button operation for easy and high operability
  • ・Integration of the main unit and the probe into a single unit realizes palm-size miniaturization.
  • ・Symmetrical shape of the probe allows approach from both sides of the patient.

Function

  • ・The 〇〇〇 icon, which allows the user to grasp the location of the bladder, enables intuitive positioning operation.
  • ・Highly visible OLED display with touch panel for measurement history management
  • ・Wireless battery charger is included, eliminating the need for battery replacement.

Lilium Otsuka will continue to develop unique products that only Otsuka can offer in order to help people around the world become more self-reliant in urinating. We will continue to do so in order to contribute to the health of people around the world, consistent with the Otsuka group's corporate philosophy of Otsuka-people creating new products for better health worldwide.
