• Auto Recording: With Auto Recording on, tests are automatically started and stopped once the transducer
senses fluid in the beaker.
o Auto Event Marking: Automatically adds events to graph.
o Auto Voiding Summary: A Uroflow auto recording option to display Voiding Summary after a test is
finished. Auto recording must be enabled for this to work.
o Auto Patient Info Prompting: A Uroflow auto recording option to display the Patient Info window when
a test is stopped.
o Auto Filing: An auto recording option to save a file when a test is stopped.
o Auto Launch Reporter: For iList™ users, select also to automatically start iList™ Office Reporter to
generate a report.
o Auto Printing: An auto recording option to print a file when a test is stopped.
o Auto Display Print Option: An auto printing option to display print option before auto printing.
The instructions below provide information on how to adjust each of the parameters in the Uroflow Options Dialogue Box.
To Change Default Channels:
1. Click the Channel box beside the channel requiring adjustment and a channel list will appear.
2. Select the appropriate channel name.
NOTE: Normally the default settings for threshold are not changed for performing Uroflowmetry on patients. Consult
with your LABORIE representative for modifications to default settings
.
The calculating channels may be replaced with other channels as long as the units are consistent in definition. Example:
“Flow” may be replaced with another math channel depicting corrected flow rate.
To Change the Time Range:
1. Click Change. The Uroflow Options Segment Selection window will appear.
2. Click and drag the mouse pointer across the graph window from the start to the end of the Uroflow segment.
A bold black line will run across the top of the box indicating the selection.
3. Release the mouse button. The start and end lines of the segment are updated.
4. Confirm or Cancel the selected segment by clicking the appropriate option. The Uroflow Options Segment
Selection
window closes, returning to the Uroflow Options Dialogue Box.
To Enable the Software to Recognize Artifacts:
In the Uroflow Options dialogue box, select the Enable Artifact Recognition box. A checkmark will appear in the box
indicating that the software will detect artifacts. Artifact Recognitions refers to the detection of non-physiological
transducer readings.
Example: If a patient kicks the transducer, the curve indicates a very high spike. The height of the spike is “unnaturally”
high and therefore the UDS120 GOBY software recognizes the event as a deviation from what it considers a normal
reading.
The Threshold check box in the Artifact Recognition box indicates the speed of flow. The defaulted rate of flow is 45.0
ml/s/s. That rate means that if the speed of flow accelerates more than 45.0 ml/s/s, it is considered an artifact. When an
artifact is detected, the Voiding Summary calculation will ignore the next set of data.
To change the Acceleration Rate Threshold:
1. Double-click the Artifact Recognition Threshold box. The value in the text box will be highlighted.
2. Enter a new value using the keyboard. The software will recognize the new value in the Threshold text box as
the maximum rate of flow. Any values over this maximum rate will be considered an artifact.
3. When exiting the Uroflow Options dialogue box, click OK to save changes or Cancel to cancel changes. The
Uroflow Options window closes and returns to the Voiding Summary window.
