IBP SETUP
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 14-17
Pressure labels are color-coded within this window to indicate their status. To assign a
label, the hemodynamic pod or Y-cable must be connected to the monitor.
Pressure Label Conflicts
Each pressure label can be assigned to one location. If you try to reuse a label, the
monitor displays a caution informing you that the label is in use and asks if you want
to continue. If you choose
YES, the monitor puts the label in the currently selected
box and places an automatic pressure label (P1a
P3d) in the previous location.
Pod-Monitor Label Conflicts
Hemo2, Hemo4, PiCCO pods, and MPod – Quad Hemo and the monitor store
pressure label assignments. When a pod with previously stored labels is connected to a
monitor, the pod and the monitor may be storing different pressure labels for the same
channel, causing a conflict.
The label stored in a pod prevails if a transducer is connected to the pod. The pod
keeps the label, and the monitor assigns that parameter label to the
Pressure Labels
screen. If a transducer is not connected to the pod, the label stored in the monitor
memory has priority.
Color-Coding for Pressure Labels
Background Text Status
Black Green • Pod or Y-cable connected to monitor
• Transducer connected
White • Pod or Y-cable connected to monitor
• Transducer not connected
Gray White • Pod or Y-cable not connected to monitor
• Transducer not connected
NOTE: For Hemo2 pods, the pressure label screen shows two ghosted fields, because
the pod monitors two pressures.
NOTE: The HemoMed pod does not store any pressure labels assigned by the
monitor.
