IncontiMed ChecklistUser’s Guide

Release 6.0

Overview and Intended Use

The IncontiMed CheckList™ is intended for use as an aid in collecting self-report information on an individual’s incontinence related experiences as part of the assessment of incontinence complaints.

The IncontiMed CheckList™ is simply a list of yes or no questions which a patient can complete at their own pace in a private setting. A checklist report can be created after a patient completes a checklist. The report lists the questions to which the patient answered yes (endorsed).

NeuroDynamix™ Software EnvironmentNeuroDynamix™ serves as a common interface for a range of software applications from Zynex® NeuroDiagnostics, allowing the user to select the connected instrument, enter clinic and clinician information, create patient records, and select patient records to review. IncontiMed CheckList™ is installed as part of the NeuroDynamix™ software package. If the IncontiMed CheckList™ is the only desired application within the NeuroDynamix™ software package, the other applications may be disregarded, and their shortcuts may be deleted from the desktop.

System RequirementsIncontiMed CheckList™ 6.0 software is compatible with WindowsXP, and Windows7.

Software & Hardware InstallationIncontiMed CheckList™ is installed with the NeuroDynamix™ Setup package. This is installed by double clicking the NeuroDynamix™6.0_Setup….exe file and following the prompts. Note, this installer will install all NeuroDynamix™ applications, and therefore a shortcut for each application will be placed on the desktop. Unwanted NeuroDynamix™ shortcuts may be removed from the desktop by simply delete them. See the NeuroDynamix™ Installation Instructions for further details.
