LABORIE Goby Owner’s Manual GOBY-UM02 14
2.6.3.3 Check the Pressure Transducers Using Water Catheters
1. Setup the water transducers as described in Fluid-Filled Pressure Transducer Setup section on page 20.
2. Connect the measurement tubing to the pressure channel of a water catheter, then prime the pressure channel.
3. Open the UDS120 software and start a sample test with pressure channels.
4. Align the catheter pressure hole with the center of transducer dome, Click Set Zeroes.
5. Raise the pressure hole of the catheter 15 cm above the center of transducer dome. Hold the catheter in a steady
position and wait for a reading on the pressure channel.
The pressure channel should display a reading of 15 cmH
2
O (+/- 2 cmH
2
O). If the reading is above or below the 2 cmH
2
O
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.
2.6.4 Check the Infusion Transducer
2.6.4.1 Check the Infusion Transducer Using the Uroflowmeter
Ensure the Uroflowmeter is checked and calibrated before following the instructions below to check the Infusion Transducer.
To check the Uroflowmeter, see the Check the Flow and Volume of the Uroflowmeter section on page 11
.
1. Place a full infusion bag on the infusion transducer.
2. Place an empty beaker on the Uroflowmeter.
3. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a sample test with a VH2O channel.
4. Click Set Zeroes.
5. Infuse 1000ml into the beaker on the Uroflowmeter. Read the volume channel to track infused volume.
The volume on the channel should match the volume emptied into the beaker. If there is a strong difference (+/- 10 ml)
between the volume measured in the Uroflowmeter and that of the volume displayed on screen, then calibration is required.
Once calibrated, perform a re-check with the instructions provided above.
Contact LABORIE service for assistance if
problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
2.6.4.2 Check the Infusion Transducer Using an Infusion Bag
1. Place a full infusion bag, with a declared volume of 1000ml at maximum, on the infusion transducer.
2. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a sample test.
3. Click Set Zeroes.
4. Remove bag and replace with an empty infusion bag.
5. Read the volume channel.
If there is a strong difference on the channel volume compared to the declared weight of the infusion bag, +/- 10ml, then
calibration is required.
Once calibrated, perform a re-check with the instructions provided above.
Contact LABORIE
service for assistance if problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
2.6.5 Check the UPP Puller
1. With a pencil, mark two points 50mm apart along the UPP puller shaft.
2. Open the UDS120 Goby™ software and start a sample UPP test.
3. Move the UPP to the distal (furthest) marker on the puller shaft.
4. Start a timer and then run the puller and measure the time it takes for the UPP puller to move to the proximal
(closer) mark on the puller shaft.
The puller should stop at the proximal mark after 50 seconds (+/- 3 seconds). If the UPP puller does not move to the proximal
mark in the required range of time, then calibration is required.
Once calibration is complete perform a re-check by
repeating the instructions provided above.
Contact LABORIE service for assistance if problems continue after the
calibration and re-check.
