Anorectal manometry protocol
This tab displays the settings for items such as printer usage, storage on disk,
initial pump speed, sample rate, marker line distance, and more. Under normal
circumstances, the default settings are sufficient.
For anorectal manometry, you must select the catheter that will be used (see §
9.2.2). You can also edit the channels to be measured (e.g., add EMG) and
the connections. Use the

9.2.2
Select the catheter
Anorectal manometry investigations can be performed by either using (a)
water catheters with DT-NN pressure transducers, (b) air-charged catheters
with external pressure transducers, or (c) solid-state catheters. LABORIE
advises to use catheters with four pressure channels for the most accurate
results.
