During analysis the software will compensate the rectal pressure with the
pressure built up by the balloon. If you always use the same balloon catheter,
you need to determine the balloon compliance only once.
Measurement
The balloon should now be inflated with 10 ml increments and the
resulting pressure at each step is recorded.
If you want to increment in other steps than 10 ml, press the
pump
up/down keys on the remote control. The inflation step is displayed on
the syringe button on top of the screen.
After inflation of the balloon, a 20-second accommodation period
should be provided.
During infusion the sensation markers can be set by pressing the
appropriate softkey. When the maximum tolerable volume is reached,
the investigation can be stopped and the balloon can be deflated.
