SELECTING AND PREPARING THE TRANSDUCER
VF6 Infinity Vista 14-5
Selecting and Preparing the Transducer
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 tubing 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 measurements. Consider the following:
1. Select a high pressure tubing system (compliant tubing dampens 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.
Connect the IBP transducer to the IBP-connector
on the monitor’s left side panel. The connector is
only available as a hardware upgrade with the
purchase of the IBP monitoring option.
WARNING:
z Never re-use a single-use (disposable) transducer.
z Dräger approved transducers reduces the risk of
patient burns during electrosurgery or defibrillation.
Use of non-approved transducers may compromise this
function.
WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not use any
conductive parts in the hydraulic system connection to the
transducer.
