LABORIE Goby - Check Flow; Check the Pump; Check the UDS Roam; Check the EMG

LABORIE Goby Owner’s Manual GOBY-UM02 12
2.6.1.2 Check Flow
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. Fill another beaker with 500cc of water.
5. Slowly and steadily pour the water from the filled beaker into the empty beaker. Try to keep the rate
between 25 to 50 ml/second.
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 above.
Contact LABORIE service for assistance if problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
2.6.2 Check the Pump
Some reminders before pump check-up:
• If contrast is used for testing procedures it should also be used for check-up and calibration procedures.
• Use only LABORIE recommended and approved tubing for accurate readings and measurements.
1. Prime the pump tubing.
2. Set up the pump tubing with catheter to pump into an empty beaker.
3. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a sample test.
4. Fill to a volume of 150 cc and stop the test.
5. Measure the volume.
The volume channel should match the pump fill volume (+/- 10 ml). If the reading is above or below the 10ml threshold,
then calibration is required.
Once calibration is complete perform a re-check by following the instructions provided
above. Contact LABORIE service for assistance if problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
2.6.3 Check the UDS Roam™
2.6.3.1 Check the EMG
IMPORTANT: EMG leads tend to expire after six months of use; it is recommended that they be replaced every six
months.
1. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a
sample test with an EMG channel.
2.
Place two EMG electrodes, 1 inch apart, on
your forearm (where the muscle flexes the
most) and the third EMG patch on the elbow of
the same arm.
3. Keep your arm relaxed, palm open, and fully
extended
. You will notice minimal EMG
activity.

4. Keep your palm open flex the arm slightly until
it reached a 45-degree angle. H
old the
position to keep it at a constant rate. You will
notice an increase in activity on the EMG
channel.
