  • Page 56: Multiple Flowmasters

    The hospital is responsible for creating a safe situation in which the patient name is always linked to the recorded uroflow of that patient. Therefore, Laborie recommends (1) to use the indication of the Flowmaster serial number and (2) to label each flowmeter in the software with a unique name, which is easy to understand by the patient.
