vPad-A1 OPERATORS MANUAL
Also on the CO Adapter box is a larger, four-pin connector for the typical Injectate temperature
probe. To determine if your device connection requires an additional adapter, contact your Datrend
dealer for assistance.
Note
: Since it is not possible to display a selector or button for every
simulation parameter at the same time, the Cardiac Output menu
displays, in yellow, a summary list of all the parameter settings which
are currently in use. See
Figure 51
for an example of a parameters
summary.
4.4.2.3 Cardiac Output – Baseline Temperature
Baseline Temperature sets the temperature of the patient's blood prior to injection of the saline. It
can be set to 36, 37, or 38 EC.
4.4.2.4 Cardiac Output – Injectate Temperature
Injectate Temperature sets the temperature of the saline to be injected. The
third dropdown menu presents the list of options as shown in
Figure 52
.
The second-to-last option (‘Spacelabs 20 EC’) is adjustable by means of user-
accessible potentiometers inside the vPad-PS module. Default resistance for
the Spacelabs
Injectate Temperature is set at the factory to 68.0K ohm, but
users can change this via the 100K ohm and 5.0K ohm potentiometers as
indicated in
Figure 53
.
Note
: The Cardiac Output Coefficient is 0.542 for
0 and 2EC, and 0.595 for 20 and 24EC.
