14.3.2 Measurement Steps
1) Insert the IBP module into the monitor.
2) Insert one end of the IBP sensor cable into the IBP connector, and connect the other end to the IBP
transducer.
3) Exhaust air in IBP sensor according to the instructions provided by the IBP transducer manufacturer,
usually filling the sensor with saline solution.
4) Connect the IBP sensor to the patient and ensure that there is no air inside.
5) Place the sensor on the same horizontal level of the patient's heart, approximately at the midaxillary line.
6) Select the IBP measurement marker; please refer to "
Section14.5.2 Change Pressure Label
" for more
information.
7) Zero the sensor as specified in "
Section 14.3.3 Zero the Pressure Sensor
"; after zero success, turn off the
channel to the atmosphere and turn on the channel to the patient.
If there is any bubble in the pressure tube or sensor use the infusion solution to flush the system. Bubbles
lead to inaccurate measurement.
To perform the ICP measurement to a sitting patient adjust the sensor to the same level as the patient’s
ears. Incorrect sensor position leads to inaccurate measurement.
