Contraindications

• Not for use in evaluating erectile capability in children.

• Do not use the RigiScan Plus Monitor in men who have communicable skin or venereal diseases or men who have any rash or lesions on the penis or surrounding area.

• Do not use in men with impaired mental capacity unless the testing period is directly supervised by appropriate medical personnel.

Chapter 1: Introduction

The RigiScan Plus System allows you to measure the duration, frequency, and degree of rigidity and tumescence of the penis. This device provides a graphical and tabular display of base and tip penile rigidity and tumescence data for the physician’s interpretation. The design of the RigiScan Plus System makes it simple for you and your patients to use, yet it offers a sophisticated range of capabilities and applications. The system is suitable for nocturnal data collection or data collection during various provocative interventions that are intended to produce an erectile response. Testing may be conducted in a stand-alone Ambulatory mode or in a Real-time monitoring mode when connected to your computer.

This chapter contains important information which must be observed to ensure patient safety and proper operation of the RigiScan Plus system.

Warnings

Adequate patient education is required to assure safe operation of the RigiScan Plus by a patient for in-home nocturnal testing.

• DO NOT use the RigiScan Plus Monitor if the tension guide boots are loose, the cable is kinked or curled, or the tension guide is crushed or broken. Use of worn or damaged tension guides may result in patient injury.

• DO NOT use the RigiScan Plus Monitor with improperly or incompletely installed tension guides. The tension guides must be inserted in the monitor with the tension guide pin fully seated in the slot on the top of the housing. Use of a RigiScan Plus with improperly inserted tension guides may result in patient injury.

• DO NOT operate the RigiScan Plus Monitor near sources of intense pulsed or conducted

electrical or magnetic elds such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), CT scan, X-ray,

-6-

RIGISCAN

(User Guide)

electrocautery, electrocoagulation, diametry or telemetry equipment, high power transmitters, or household appliances such as electric blankets, electric razors, power tools, micro-

wave ovens, hair dryers or cellular phones. Items such as these may interfere with operation

of the monitor and cause erroneous readings.

• Patients MUST NOT bath or shower while wearing the RigiScan Plus Monitor. Getting the monitor wet may cause electrical shock to the patient or damage to the monitor.

• Patients MUST NOT engage in any sexual activity, such as intercourse, oral sex or masturbation, during RigiScan Plus testing. Doing so may result in patient injury or erroneous data.

• Patients with impaired penile sensation are at greater risk of exposure to maximum compressive forces should the system fail to operate properly.

• DO NOT turn the RigiScan Plus Monitor “on” until the loops have been placed on the penis. Turning the monitor on before placing the loops will cause continuous rigidity sampling and may result in patient discomfort, pain, irritation or bruising.

• The RigiScan Monitor must be turned “off” prior to urination. The monitor may be turned off for a continuous period of up to 15 minutes without interrupting the monitoring session. Urinating with the monitor on may cause pain, urethral irritation or hematuria.

• The RigiScan Monitor must be turned “off” prior to readjusting the position of the loops on the penis. Adjusting the loops with the monitor on may cause continuous rigidity sampling and result in patient discomfort, pain, irritation or bruising.

• Reuse of disposable loop covers may result in patient injury or transmission of communicable disease.

• When the RigiScan Plus System is to be used in a Real-time Monitoring Mode (RTM), the host

PC must use an isolation transformer manufactured to EN60601 standards. Failure to do so

may result in a safety hazard.

Cautions

• Ingestion of coffee, tea, cola, alcoholic beverages, sedatives, tranquilizers, muscle relaxants or sleeping pills in the period immediately preceding nocturnal testing with the RigiScan Plus may affect test results by interfering with normal sleep patterns.

Warnings (continued)

-7-

• Care must be taken to remove the tension guides slowly and gently to avoid damage to the cables or internal mechanisms. Removing the tension guides too quickly may damage the monitor or result in an “out-of-phase” condition and inability to re-insert the tension guides.

• USE ONLY the communications cable supplied with the RigiScan Plus system. Alternate communications cables are not compatible with the system and may damage the RigiScan Plus Monitor.

• USE ONLY Duracell 9-volt disposable alkaline or GOTOP approved rechargeable 9-volt bat-

teries. Other batteries may not have sufcient power to complete a Monitoring session.

• Federal (USA) law restricts this device to the sale or use by or on the order of a physician.

Side Effects and Complications

The side effects and complications listed below have been reported with use of the device:

• Penile pain, redness, bruising, abrasion or cuts of the penile skin from action of the loops

• Urethral bleeding

• Hematuria

1.2 Principles of Operation

The RigiScan Plus Monitor is an ambulatory data logging unit that measures and records penile rigidity and tumescence. It is linked by cable to an IBM-compatible computer, which downloads and processes the data, stores it for review, and prints it on command. The ambulatory monitor uses tip and base penile loops that adjust by tightening slightly at discrete time intervals to measure and record penile

rigidity and tumescence. Each loop contains a cable that moves freely inside a conduit. Each loop

takes a measurement every 15 seconds. The loop gently tightens with a linear force of 4 ounces (114g) and then immediately releases and the tissue rebounds to its unloaded state. The RigiScan Plus Monitor then takes a tumescence measurement. After the tumescence measurement is taken, it is compared to the previous samples. When a 6 mm increase in tumescence is detected, representing possible erectile

activity, the RigiScan Plus Monitor takes a second measurement every 30 seconds. After tumescence

is measured, the loops tighten a second time around the circumference of the penis with a linear force

of 10 ounces (283.5g). The RigiScan Plus Monitor takes a measurement when this force is applied to

record a cross sectional response to radial compression. This is how rigidity is measured.
