Zeroing and Calibration Check
The Zero field in the IBP setup menu:
! Displays the date and time of the last zeroing procedure.
! Allows you to zero the pressure transducer before entering a
calibration factor.
NOTE: Before zeroing, make sure the transducer is at heart level.
It is necessary to zero the transducer immediately after the intro-
duction of the catheter in the patient’s vascular system and before
monitoring. You should also zero the transducer once a day or after
changing the tubing or the dome of the transducer.
Pressure transducers are sensitive and their calibration may
change significantly following a mechanical shock or an over-
pressure in the system (e.g., after drawing blood or injecting
drugs).
If you are using reusable transducers, it is necessary to calibrate
them with a mercury manometer to determine the calibration fac-
tor. This calibration procedure is typically the responsibility of
your Biomed.
The calibration check procedure described in this section consists
of adjusting the monitor by entering the calibration factor given
by your Biomed, if you are using reusable transducers.
If you are using disposable transducers, use 100 as the calibration
factor. Disposable transducers are all pre-calibrated.
See the table on Zero and Calibration Check Troubleshooting
(below) to help you during the procedure.
