Nocturnal Mode.
A testing mode conducted at night while the patient sleeps. This mode uses the
entire session to calculate a baseline for evaluation.
Provocative Mode.
A testing mode that monitors a patient’s erectile response to a provocation in-
tervention, such as pharmacological injections or visual sexual stimuli. This mode uses only the first
fifteen minutes of tumescence data to calculate a baseline for evaluation.
Qualified Erectile Event.
Periods of erectile activity are considered qualified events when a 20
percent increase in tumescence over the baseline tumescence occurs persisting for a period of at least
three minutes then returning to the baseline for at least five minutes.
Real-time.
The output of data on the computer screen as the RigiScan Plus Monitor collects it. This
can be done in both the nocturnal and provocative modes.
Note: While the data is being displayed on PC, it is not being saved. To capture/save the displayed
Real-Time data, you must end the Real-Time session, re-establish communication, and then download
the session.
Rigidity.
The degree of hardness of the penis. The RigiScan Plus Software measures rigidity as a per-
centage.
Rigidity Activity Units (RAU).
This value is a time intensity measurement that represents the area
under the rigidity curve during a qualified event. The Rigidity Activity Unit is calculated by summing
the rigidity values for the duration of a qualified event and dividing by 2 times 100. The value 2 is
used because there are two rigidity samples taken per minute, and the value 100 is used to remove
the percent.
Session.
A monitoring period between fifteen minutes and ten hours in length. The RigiScan Plus
Monitor will store the data from three sessions and one characterization session in its memory. In order
for data collected during any one of the three nocturnal monitoring sessions to be permanently stored
in the RigiScan Monitor Memory, it must first be qualified. A session is qualified when the RigiScan
Monitor is initially turned on in a session and is left on for fifteen minutes. If the monitor is not left on
for this minimum fifteen-minute period, the session is not qualified and the data will be overwritten
the next time the monitor is turned on (this does not apply to the Characterization Session). After the
session is qualified, the RigiScan Monitor may be intermittently turned off for periods of up to fifteen
minutes to allow time for the patient to urinate. If the RigiScan Monitor is turned off for less than fifteen
