Once the monitor detects a transduce wire or IBP cable fault (opened or shorted), or transducer
connector unplugged, it will activate a technical alarm condition. If the prompt information “XX (IBP
label) cable shorted???” is shown, please pay attention to check the integrity of the IBP cable and
transducer. Replace them if necessary. Or start zeroing again before further use.
If the transducer connector, adapter cable or modules are intentionally disconnected by the clinical
operator, use [Alarm Reset] to disable the alarm light and message.
14.3.3 Zero the Pressure Sensor
To prevent inaccurate measurement, please zero the sensor on a daily basis or as required by the relevant policies
of the hospital. The user should zero the sensor:
When using a new pressure tube or transducer;
When connecting the sensor to the Monitor; or
If you believe that the measurement results are inaccurate.
To zero the sensor:
1) Turn off the three-way switch valve to the patient.
2) Open the sensor channel to the atmosphere.
3) Select the parameter area or waveform area of the pressure to be zeroed to enter parameter menu, select
[Zero] button at the bottom of the menu, and the zeroing results will be displayed after zeroing is finished.
Select [Zero IBP] hot key in the lower menu bar to zero it. Or press the Zero hard key on the plug-in module for
zeroing.
4) After successful zeroing, close the sensor channel to the atmosphere, and open the channel to the patient.
Note: Troubleshooting the Zero failed
Potential causes may be: equipment malfunction; cable fault; excessive offset or continuous unstable signal;
Corrective action: inspect if the transducer is vented to air and try again. If this fails, replace the cable extender
and/or the transducer and try again. Contact the service personnel if still not resolved.
14.4 IBP Display
For arterial pressure, the IBP parameter area displays systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean
blood pressure. For venous pressure, the IBP parameter area only displays mean blood pressure. The figure below
shows Art waveforms and parameters.
