2.1.2 Caring for the Urocap™ IV Uroflowmeter
Follow the instructions below to clean the Urocap™ IV of possible urine contamination. Always wear protective gloves
when cleaning the equipment to prevent biological contamination.
IMPORTANT: Do not soak the Urocap™ IV in water! Do not immerse in water or in any other liquids!
• The Urocap™ IV Uroflowmeter has an immersion protection rating of IP54 for ingress of water. This means that
the enclosure of the Uroflowmeter can handle splashes of water and liquid from any direction, but it is not
protected against total immersion into water or any other liquids. This complies with IEC 60529 standards.
• Never soak or immerse the Urocap™ IV in water or any other liquids (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Do not Immerse
• The lid of the Urocap™ IV is not removable.
• The Urocap™ IV should be cleaned using a damp cloth with alcohol, soap, or disinfectant detergent (Figure
2).
Figure 2: Cleaning the Urocap™ IV
• Store the Urocap™ IV in a cool and dry area at room temperature. Refer to the Specifications section on page
101.
• After each use rinse the Uroflow beaker. Soap and water, or a mild detergent solution can be used for cleaning.
NOTE: Although the beaker is reusable, it will discolor over time and may need to be replaced.
To check if the Urocap™ IV is functioning correctly, see the Check the Flow and Volume of the Uroflowmeter section on
page 11.
