LABORIE Goby Owner’s Manual GOBY-UM02 11
NOTE:
• It will take approximately 5 hours to fully charge the devices.
• When the LED light on the device is green it is fully charged.
• The equipment can still be used while charging.
• When placed in the Hub the UDS Roam will show an increase in EMG noise.
2.2.2 Battery - Preventative Maintenance
• Do not step on, drop, drop in water, or puncture the battery. If misuse, abuse, or damage is suspected, or any
form of mechanical damage to the casing is visible, then discontinue use and return the battery to LABORIE.
• If a sudden change in the battery’s ability to hold a charge or a sudden change in battery lifetime is noticed,
discontinue use and return the battery to LABORIE.
2.3 COMPUTER VIRUS PROTECTION
All computers purchased from LABORIE are virus-free before shipment and are installed with the Norton™ Antivirus
program. It is the customer’s responsibility to correctly use and maintain the anti-virus program to prevent virus problems.
LABORIE is not responsible for any virus-related computer problems after point of delivery to the customer.
2.4 TREATING AND DISPOSING OF PRODUCT AFTER USE
• After use, discard the contaminated, plastic, single-use disposables and any packaging according to your
institution’s standard operating procedures on medical waste handling.
• For end of life product, waste electrical and electronic equipment should be collected separately and returned to
the designated local recycling service.
• For end of battery life, disposal must be handled according to local regulations.
• Packaging waste should be collected separately for available national packaging collection and recycling services.
2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION OF WASTE DISPOSAL
Since the Goby™ System is designed to perform Uroflow studies using the Urocap™ IV, it is important to dispose of waste
(such as urine) properly to prevent environmental pollution. The waste should be disposed of in such a way that will not
pollute the fresh water supply system — especially the drinking water system. In areas that have sewage systems with water
treatment procedures, the most convenient means of disposal is to use these sewage systems.
2.6 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE – CHECKING CALIBRATION
Performing regular maintenance will reduce the need for repairs. Check the transducer calibration every 6 months or
whenever you suspect the transducers are out of calibration. If the Uroflowmeter, the pump, the
UDS Roam™, the EMG,
the pressure transducers, the UPP puller, and/or the Infusion Transducer appear to be giving incorrect readings, try the
following checkups before attempting to calibrate the system.
2.6.1 Check the Flow and Volume of the Uroflowmeter
2.6.1.1 Check Volume
1. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a sample Uroflow test.
2. Put an empty beaker on the Uroflow transducer.
3. Select Set Zeroes!
4. Remove the empty beaker.
5. Fill a beaker with 500cc of water and place it on the Uroflowmeter.
The volume channel should display a volume of 500ml (+/- 5 ml). If the reading is above or below the 5ml threshold, then
calibration is required.
Once calibration is complete perform a re-check by following the instructions provided. Contact
LABORIE service for assistance if problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
