What would you use an 81050 for? I thought collection was included in al urine testing. Is that not so? Help!    Report

A flow meter device may be used or the simple timing of flow into a measured container can be done. It determines volume of urine voided per second. The 82382 is used to diagnose hypertension by collecting urine over a 24 hour period to determine total cateholamines.    Report
