Stress Test
Commence the stress test once the patient’s bladder had been infused with 150-
200ml of fluid. Position the patient so that the meatus, the urinary opening, is
easily observed.
Select the
Stress Test
toggle button to begin the stress test. Clicking the
Stress
Test
toggle button will automatically stop the pump.
If a leak is observed select the
Leak
button to mark the event.
Select the
Stress Test
toggle button again to end the stress test. A pop-up
window will appear showing a suggested designation for the stress test.
Synergy automatically assigns each stress test based on events marked within the
range. To change the assigned type designation, select the option and press
OK
(Figure 20). Changing the designation will add or remove the events marked in
the stress test.
