5.6.9 Bladder Compliance (Optional)
Bladder Compliance is commonly calculated using events from the filling stage of a study. The Bladder Compliance
feature is available once a CMG or Micturition test has been performed. The feature enables the selection of study segments
for analysis using the Bladder Compliance Calculation. The user can select marked events from any stage of the study.
NOTE: Bladder Compliance calculation/configuration can only be performed with English language software. The
calculation results are expressed in ml/cm H2O.
Bladder compliance is calculated as:
ΔVH20 change in bladder volume
Δ Pdet change in Detrusor pressure

must be completed through the Info menu. Automatic
Bladder Compliance settings are available in the Configuration
window which can be accessed through the Info Menu or the Config Menu. Refer to the
