5.2.1.1 Caring for the Interlocked Roam NXT & PIM NXT
Inspect the Roam NXT and PIM NXT to ensure there are no signs of visible deterioration of
the device prior to using them for a Urodynamics Study. General guidelines for caring for
these devices are provided below:
•
If a transducer door or belt clip breaks, is damaged or lost, contact LABORIE
Service for a replacement.
•
EMG recording cables should be replaced either at sign of wear or annually.
•
The PIM NXT should be replaced every two years to sustain recording quality.
•
As a part of regular maintenance, inspect the device transducer channels for any
obstructions, dirt, or debris. Any objects inserted into the PIM NXT transducer
channels other than the intended catheter connector may cause damage and
channel obstruction.
•
If an object is trapped inside the cavity, do not insert a catheter into that channel
until the object is removed.
•
If small objects or an O-ring get stuck inside the charging cavity, turn the cavity
upside down and gently shake the PIM NXT to remove the object.
•
Do not attempt to remove any lodged objects from the PIM NXT transducer
channels with a tool. Do not attempt to clean or remove dirt or debris from the
transducer channels. Contact LABORIE Service for repair or replacement.
5.2.1.2 Caring for the Urocap NXT
Ensure the Urocap NXT cover is not displaced or stretched after completing the cleaning or
disinfection process.
•
If the cover of the Urocap NXT becomes displaced, gently apply pressure around
its circumference to ease the cover back into place.
•
If the device’s rubber feet are lost or damaged, contact LABORIE Service for a
replacement.
•
If the device’s vent plug is lost or damaged, contact LABORIE Service for a
replacement. Avoid moisture or fluids near this area until a replacement vent
plug is received.
