Fluid Output Calculation Type –is used by the SIM™ manager to determine the recommended
continence product capacity and applies different safety factors to the shift volume. It takes into
consideration preferences to prescribe continence products based on maximum, weighted or
average urine output at different times of the day. The default value entered is the maximum
output plus a buffer of 10%.
For example, assume that the total net weight of wetness events in each shift (in a 3-day assessment) was
200mL, 500mL and 300mL.
- If “average” is selected, the volume needed in a pad will be 333mL and this is used to compare against
the Product (Aid) Capacity for recommendations.
- If “maximum” is selected, the maximum volume of any one of the three shift volumes is used (500mL)
- If “weighted” is selected, then 75% of max and 25% of average is used (375 + 333/3 = 458.25mL)
- If “max + 10%” is selected, then max (as above) + 10% is used (550mL) (This is the default)
Continence Aid Capacity Type - normally ISO Rothwell or working capacities which are available
from continence product manufacturers.
