6. CLEANING AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

C
6.1.
LEANING
IMPORTANT! Do not soak the Urocap in water or in any other liquids! It is non-immersible.
• Always wear protective gloves when cleaning the transducer to prevent biological contamination.
• The exterior surface of the transducer and the dish should be wiped using a clean cloth dampened with
alcohol, soap, or disinfectant detergent to wipe clean. Immediately wipe the surfaces dry. Do not let any
liquid leak into the seams of the transducer. The transducer should be stored in a cool and dry area at room
temperature.
• The Uroflow beaker should be rinsed and dried after use. Soap and water, or a mild detergent solution,
can be used for cleaning. NOTE: Although the beaker is reusable, it will discolor over time and may need
to be replaced.
• The chair, Flowstand, and funnel can be wiped clean with a cloth dampened with soap or mild detergent
and wiped dry immediately.

REVENTIVE
Performing regular maintenance will reduce the need for costly repairs. Check the transducer calibration
every 6 months or whenever you suspect the transducers are off calibration.
If the Uroflowmeter is giving incorrect readings, try the following checkups before attempting to calibrate
the system.

Check the Flow and Volume of the Uroflowmeter

Check Volume
1. Open the UDS120 software and start a sample Uroflow test.
2. Put an empty beaker on the Uroflow transducer.
3. Select Set Zeroes!
4. Remove the empty beaker.
5. Fill a beaker with 500cc of water and place it on the Uroflowmeter.
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. See Calibrate Volume in the Calibration chapter in the owner's manual
for information. Once calibration is complete perform a re-check by following steps 1 to 5 listed here.
Contact LABORIE service for assistance if problems continue after the calibration and re-check.
Check Flow
1. Open the UDS120 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 40 ml/second.
