How to Use Santron PC-based Urodynamic System

Urodynamic tests involve a series of diagnostic procedures to determine the health of your urinary system. Your healthcare provider recommends these tests if you are facing any urinary issues. They help to diagnose problems such as urinary incontinence, frequent urination, or blockages.

Santron’s PC-based urodynamic system is highly efficient and offers precise diagnostic insights within minutes. We have created this PC-based urodynamic testing guide to help you understand this urological device and how to use it in your healthcare setup. Let’s begin.

Overview of Santron PC-based Urodynamic System

Santron’s PC-based urodynamic system is a state-of-the-art urological device that provides superior diagnostic capabilities for various urological conditions. It supports many tests, such as Uroflowmetry, Urethral Pressure Profile (UPP), Uroflowmetry + EMG, and Cytometry combinations, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of bladder functions for enhanced patient care.

Santron PC-based Urodynamic System

Some of the key features of the Santron PC-based urodynamic testing system are as follows:

· Advanced pressure sensors: Accurately measure abdominal, urethral, detrusor, and vesical pressures to assess bladder function accurately.

· Weight-based infusion sensor: Tracks and controls fluid levels during procedures to give accurate results.

· Highly sensitive uroflow sensor: Detects urine flow rates with exceptional sensitivity for accurately diagnosing urinary disorders.

· Single-channel EMG setup: Records muscle activity in real-time, giving a complete picture of how the urinary system works.

· Digital calibration: Automatically adjust sensors for precise measurements without manual adjustments.

· User-friendly interface: Easy buttons to help navigate functions like bladder events and pump controls, with clear, real-time visuals.

· Quick report generation: Quickly generate detailed reports, ensuring accurate and understandable results.

· Patient data management: Seamlessly store, retrieve, and manage patient records to support better clinical decisions.

· Real-time data & event markers: Continuously monitor data in real-time, marking important events during the test for easy tracking.

· Flexible integration: Works effortlessly in clinics and mobile setups, making it versatile for different healthcare environments.

How to Set Up the Santron PC-based Urodynamic System

To set up the urodynamic system, begin by positioning the hardware equipment on a stable surface. Attach the pressure sensors, infusion sensor, and uroflow sensor to their respective ports on the machine, ensuring all connections are secure.

For the software installation, follow the on-screen prompts to install the software on a compatible PC. The provided USB or serial cable connects the Santron system to the PC.

Remember, calibration is not necessary as the device is factory-calibrated.

Next, open the software to set up specific urodynamic tests, such as Uroflowmetry, Cytometry, or Urethral Pressure Profile (UPP). Then, input patient details like name, age, and medical history into the patient management system.

You can begin conducting the tests once the patient data has been set up.

Ensure all tubings are securely connected to the sensors, infusion bottle, pump, and catheter inside the patient. Once the connections are confirmed, perform a cough test to verify that all parameters, including pressure sensor responses and system functionality, are working correctly. After that, you can start the test.

Analysing the Test Results

Once the urodynamic test is complete, the Santron PC-based urodynamic system generates comprehensive reports for clinical examination. These reports include detailed colour graphs and computed parameters for accurate analysis.

Additionally, these reports follow standardised formats recommended by the ICS, ensuring consistency in diagnosis. The system allows you to include patient history, test conclusions, and other relevant information, making it easier to interpret the results and plan effective treatments.

Each report is customised with your hospital and doctor’s information, offering a professional, complete analysis for clinical use and patient communication.

Conclusion

Urodynamic testing helps assess urinary function and pinpoint potential issues. The Santron PC-based urodynamic system is reliable and accurate for various diagnostic tests.

This Santron PC urodynamic system user guide aims to help you use the equipment properly and enhance patient care in your healthcare setup. To learn more about our products and offerings, contact the experts at Santron Meditronic.
