Introduction
General
Description
The Model SA0972AW and SA0972AC Uroflow Transducers measure the weight
increase as fluid enters a graduated beaker placed on top of the transducer.
The Uroflow Transducer is calibrated to produce an output that is proportional to the

Uroflow
Transducer
Troubleshooting
Guide
The troubleshooting tips in this table will help you identify the possible causes of
problems you may encounter when using the Uroflow Transducer.
If…
Then…
The amount of
fluid in the
graduated beaker
and the reported
voided volume
don’t match.
•
•
•
Maintenance of
the Uroflow
Transducer
If the volume discrepancy exceeds ± 20 ml, the Uroflow Transducer may
have been damaged and require recalibration. Contact Technical Service
to make arrangements to return the unit for service.
Consider the possibility that the patient kicked the graduated beaker with
sufficient force to simulate the onset of flow. This would have started
recording and, if the patient did not begin voiding before the recorder’s
Post Void Delay timeout, the unit would have ended recording and printed
before fluid entered the graduated beaker. This is usually seen as a sharp
spike on the Uroflow waveform, followed by no further activity. Refer to the
recording system’s operator’s manual for more information.
The patient may have voided intermittently with long pauses. If a pause is
longer than the Post Void Delay setting in the urodynamic recorder
software, the unit ends recording, analyzes and prints. Refer to the
recording system’s operator’s manual for more information.
WARNING: Disconnect mains AC power to the system before conducting
any regular maintenance.
To maintain your Uroflow Transducer in optimum operating condition, do the
following:
1.
Have the instrument tested and calibrated to the factory specifications shown
on page 7, every 12 months.
2.
Protect the instrument from fluid spills and keep it free of dust and particulate
residue from infusion solutions, body fluids, etc. This is particularly important
when using contrast medium. Contrast leaves a sticky, thick, corrosive
residue and must be cleaned immediately. The procedures for cleaning and
disinfecting equipment follow.
3.
Protect the Uroflow Transducer from physical damage such as getting
stepped on or kicked during use, or damaged during floor cleaning.
CAUTION: The transducer platter
on Uroflow Transducer Models
SA0972AC or SA0972AW should
never need to be removed. If you
must remove it, unscrew it
counterclockwise until it comes
free of the transducer body.
Pulling the transducer platter
off instead of unscrewing it will
cause damage to both
components, which will void the
unit’s warranty.
