UROCAP III MODELS There are three different Urocap III models:
the Urocap III standalone model the Urocap III wired to PC model the Urocap III wireless with PC model
Urocap III Standalone The Urocap III Standalone model connects to a thermal printer. With this model, the printer is used as the output device of the Urocap III. The procedure starts when the transducer detects the flow signal from the Uroflow transducer, and the results are printed on the serial thermal printer. After a test is complete, you can print an additional copy of the study. This function can be used in cases where the printer has run out of paper or when extra hard copies are required. Chapter 6 further explains the use of the Urocap III Standalone model. Urocap III Wired to PC The Urocap III Wired with PC model connects to a PC through a cable during normal operation. The PC will run UDS software on the Microsoft Windows XP® Professional or the Windows 7® Professional operating system, and all commands to operate the product will be done through the UDS software. Chapters 5 and 7 further explain the use of the Urocap III Wired/Wireless with PC model. Urocap III Wireless with PC This model is similar to the Urocap III wired with PC model with the exception that the connection between the Urocap III and the PC is wireless. The PC will run UDS software on the Microsoft Windows XP® Professional or the Windows 7® Professional operating system. The operation is identical to that of the wired model. Chapters 5 and 7 further explain the use of the Urocap III Wired/Wireless with PC model.

6 USING THE UROCAP III™ - STANDALONE MODEL For the standalone model of the Urocap III, the testing and calibration procedures are outlined through the instructions provided by the thermal printer’s printouts. The Urocap III thermal printer has a blue- or red-colored button labeled Reprint. The Reprint button is used to print another copy of the procedure stored in memory. It is also used to obtain input during transducer calibration. (For more information on calibration, please see page 51.)
PERFORMING A UROFLOW TEST (STANDALONE MODEL) 1. Place the Urocap III on a flat surface. IMPORTANT! The Urocap-III power supply must be in a dry area at least one (1) metre away from the base of the commode chair.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Place the printer in a desired location preferably away from the voiding area. Verify that all cable connections have been connected. Plug the DC power supply into a wall outlet. Turn on the printer. Verify that the Urocap III is receiving power. Result: The Urocap III Lamp window will blink red. The printer online lamp will light green and the power lamp will blink green. 7. Place a beaker on the Urocap III. Result: The Urocap III Lamp window will blink red faster and then turn solid green after 5 seconds. The printer will print: “Ready…” 8. Position the commode chair and the funnel directly above the beaker on the Urocap III. Make sure the funnel center aligns with the beaker so that the fluid going into the funnel will go straight into the beaker. The funnel must not touch any of the sides of the beaker. Result: If the beaker is knocked out of place and the printer starts to print the procedure, you can reset the system by lifting the beaker off and then placing it back on the transducer. 9. Ask the patient to urinate normally into the funnel. Result: When the patient starts voiding, the printer will start printing the procedure. The Urocap III lamp window will blink green when data is being collected. 10. When the patient finishes voiding, DO NOT REMOVE the beaker. Wait for the printing to complete. (Refer to the sample printout in Figure 6.1 on page 14.) Result: The Urocap III lamp window will turn a solid red. 11. If another printed copy is required, press and release the Reprint button after the printer stops printing and goes online. The data is stored until the beaker is lifted off and replaced. 12. After all the required copies finish printing, empty and clean the beaker and place it back on the Urocap III. 13. Write the information on the printout such as Patient name, doctor name, date, and so on with a pen and file it for your records. Result: After 5 seconds, the printer prints: Ready… You are now ready to start another Uroflow study. Return to Step 5 and follow the instructions to perform a new Uroflow procedure.
