Slowly open the stopcock to the luer where the pressure measurement tubing will
be attached. Connect the tubing to the stopcock as the meniscus forms on the
stopcock luer. Take care not to lose fluid from the catheter.
At the beginning of the study the abdominal pressure must equal vesicle pressure
in Synergy. If Pabd is higher than Pves, slowly open the stopcock to the free luer
connector and allow a drop of solution to escape. Repeat until Pabd equals Pves.
If Pabd is lower than Pves, open the stopcock to all luers and use the syringe to
add a few drops of solution. When Pves and Pabd are equal, Pdet will be 0cm H
2
0.
Turn the stopcock off to the syringe and instruct the patient to cough to verify
continuity and pressure transmission.
Placing the EMG Patch Electrodes

phase.
Place two electrodes peri-anally at the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock position (or at the
9 o’clock and 3 o’clock position), as close to the anal verge as possible (Figure 14)
.Place the third electrode on a bony prominence (such as the knee) or on a fatty
portion of the inner thigh.
Figure 14: EMG Patch Electrode Placements
Gather all tubing/wires and secure them to the patient’s thigh with tape.
Connect the EMG cable to the PIM NXT as shown in Figure 15 below.

Performing Roam NXT Patient Setup
For ease of movement and accessibility during Urodynamic procedures, the Roam NXT may
be mounted on an IV Pole (Figure 16) or on the procedure chair. When mounting the Roam
NXT, always ensure the clamping mount is securely fastened.
