Selecting and Preparing the Transducer
WARNINGS:
! Never re-use a single-use (disposable) transducer.
! Dräger approved transducers provide protection for
the patient against burns during electrosurgery or
defibrillation. Use of non-approved transducers may
compromise this protection.
The quality of pressure monitoring depends on the quality of the
signals received by the monitor. To maximize the strength of the
pressure signal when it reaches the transducer, assemble the tub-
ing system carefully following the application techniques of your
hospital. Noise and motion artifact as well as air bubbles in the
tubing system distort the signal and give inaccurate measure-
ments. Consider the following:
1. Select a high pressure tubing system (compliant tubing damp-
ens and distorts the signal).
2. Select the shortest possible length of tubing to preserve signal
strength and minimize motion artifact.
3. Follow your hospital procedures in assembling the tubing
system.
WARNIN G: To avoid electric shock, do not use any
conductive parts in the hydraulic system connection to
the transducer.
Connect the IBP transducer to the
IBP-connector on the monitor’s left
side panel.
