3.3 Urology Urodynamic Study
The Urology Urodynamic study is a urologic diagnostic test that provides aid in the diagnosis
of urine storage and voiding disfunction. The Urology Urodynamic study includes a FreeFlow
test and a Pressure Flow test. A Pressure Flow test involves filling the bladder and
determining the Detrusor pressure Pdet = Pves – Pabd (the difference between the pressure
inside the bladder [Pves] and the pressure inside the abdomen [Pabd]).
NOTE:
• Before beginning the Urology Urodynamic study, be sure to review the section
Gathering Supplies and Equipment on page 21
.
• Operators should be knowledgeable and qualified in applying the appropriate
aseptic technique during the intended use of all devices required for the study.
Starting a Urology Urodynamic Study
Start the Urology Urodynamic study as described in the section Starting a Study on
page 33.
The study requires the use of the Urocap NXT, Roam NXT, Infusion Pump NXT, and
Bluetooth Dongle NXT. Ensure that all modules are connected in the Synergy application
and that the Urocap NXT and Roam NXT are fully charged. Synergy will recognize the PIM
NXT and the Roam NXT as one device under the title Roam NXT. Prepare the Urocap NXT
as detailed in the section Preparing the Urocap NXT on page 23
.
