STATUS M ESSAGES
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 26-27
ART/CVP: Did
Not Zero
Transducer zeroing failed
because of:
• Excessive signal noise
• A non-static waveform
• Keep all tubing motionless, then rezero.
• Change the transducer.
• Check the stopcock, then rezero.
ART/CVP: Did
Not Zero - Offset
Error
Transducer zeroing failed
because the static pressure
was too high or too low.
• Rezero the transducer.
• Loosen and retighten the transducer dome,
then rezero the transducer.
• Replace the transducer and rezero.
PiCCO: Unknown
Catheter
Unknown/unsupported catheter
type is being used.
• Unplug the unknown catheter and replace
with the correct catheter type (see
“Precautions” on page 26-6.)
PiCCO: ART
Catheter
Unplugged
• The arterial catheter is
unplugged.
• Injectate probe thermistor
open circuit.
Replug the catheter/cable.
NOTE: If the ART catheter is disconnected then
re-connected, TD values are restored and pulse
contour values are updated.
PiCCO: Cal
Required
NOTE: This
message will
continue to
display until a
successful
PiCCO calibration
with a valid ART
pressure value is
completed.
Thermodilutions were
performed, then the ART
pressure transducer was
connected.
• Check the transducer and connections.
• Reconnect and recalibrate, if necessary, with
a valid ART pressure.
• Replace the transducer, if necessary.
ART/CVP
Transducer
disconnected
The ART/CVP pressure
transducer has been
disconnected.
• Check if necessary transducer and
connections.
• Reconnect, if necessary, and rezero.
• Replace the transducer, if necessary.
P-CO Check
Injectate Probe
• The injectate probe is
disconnected.
• Injectate probe thermistor
open circuit/malfunction.
• The p-IT value is out of range.
• Make sure the probe is connected properly
and repeat the measurement.
• Check the cable and/or the injectate
temperature sensor housing.
• Make sure the injectate temperature housing
is not exposed to extraneous warming source
(for example warming blanket).
• Change the sensor cable and/or injectate
temperature housing, if necessary.
PiCCO Injectate
probe Failure
• The injectate temperature
sensor cable is loose or
defective.
• The injectate temperature
sensor housing is defective.
• Make sure the probe is connected properly
and repeat the measurement.
• Check the cable and/or injectate temperature
sensor housing.
• Change the sensor cable and/or injectate
temperature housing, if necessary.
