26 P
ULSE CONTOUR CARDIAC OUTPUT (PICCO) MONITORING
P-CO: Change to
Iced Injectate
• Tinjectate > Tblood
• The injectate is warmer than
12 °C (53.6 °F) and EVLWI
> 10
• Use iced injectate and repeat the
measurement.
• Make sure the injectate temperature housing
is not exposed to extraneous warming source
(for example, warming blanket).
P-CO: Inject
Faster than 10
sec
The injection was done too
slowly (derived length of
injection >10 sec).
Repeat the injection. Inject rapidly and
smoothly.
P-CO Injection
Error
Error in bolus injection
(injection too short < 0.5
seconds).
P-CO Baseline
Error
The baseline curve did not
return to baseline (unstable
baseline).
• Minimize the patient motion/movement.
• Stabilize the patient temperature (stop the
infusion, if necessary).
• Change the arterial catheter.
• Check the connection of the temperature
interface cable and the arterial thermodilution
cable.
• Change the cables, if necessary.
• Check for possible error source, such as
infusion pumps, warming blankets, etc.
• Wait for READY message to display, then
repeat the measurement. If message persists,
replace the defective components.
PCCO > UL/< LL The PCCO is value above
upper/below lower limit.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Change the alarm limits as appropriate.
• Check the connections.
PCCO Out of
Range (High/
Low)
The PCCO parameter value is
out of range (high/low).
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the connections and settings.
•Retry.
PCCI > UL/< LL The PCCI value is above the
upper/below the lower limit.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Change the alarm limits as appropriate.
• Check the connections.
PCCI Out of
Range High
The PCCI parameter value is
out of range (high).
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary.
• Check the connections.
•Retry.
C.O. already in
use
PiCCO pod and C.O. via Hemo
pod connected simultaneously.
NOTE: Hemo pod can be used
in conjunction with PiCCO pod
for pressure measurements
only, not for C.O.
Disconnect the C.O. sensor from the hemo pod
and use the PiCCO pod only for C.O.
Duplicate Device
Connected
Multiple PiCCO pods are
connected.
Disconnect the duplicate pod.
