6.5 Infusion Volume Transducer
The infusion volume transducer is a part of the NXT Infusion Hook. The transducer allows
Synergy to measure the fluid used to infuse the bladder during a Urodynamic study. The
infusion volume transducer (Figure 75) is setup as follows:
Hang a 1000 ml bag of sterile saline or water on the NXT Infusion Hook.
Connect the Infusion Pump Tubing to the saline bag.
IMPORTANT
:
Ensure that the infusion line is not pulled tight or the transducer reading will not be
accurate.
Do not allow the saline bag to touch any other mechanical component or module of the
system. The saline bag must free hang from the NXT Infusion Hook to allow the transducer
to measure an accurate weight.
Figure 75: Infusion Volume Transducer Setup
The infusion transducer is calibrated for up to 3kg of fluid. Ensure the
Fluid Density
setting captured in the workflow aligns with the fluid type being used. Fluid density must be
set in the workflow configuration prior to beginning the study. Refer to the
Customizing
Workflows
