Patient Monitor User Manual Monitoring IBP (Optional)
- 137 -
NOTE:
1 Use only the pressure transducer listed in the IBP Accessories.
2 If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) on a sitting patient, adjust the transducer on
the same level with the top of the patient’s ear. Incorrect leveling may lead incorrect
values.
3 Confirm you set correct alarm limit for labels, the alarm limit you set are stored for its
label only. Changing label may change the alarm limit.
4 Don’t perform IBP calibration when a patient is being monitored.
5 When using high frequency ventilation, make sure that the ventilator catheter is not
connected to or indirectly connected to the arterial catheter at zero pressure. This can
lead to less pressure variations, thus interfere the zeroing process.
The specified transducer is designed to have the special ability to protect against the electricity
shock (especially for the leak current allowed), and it is protected against the effects of a
discharge of a cardiac defibrillator. It can be used in the surgical operation. When the patient is in
the defibrillation, the waveform of the pressure maybe distorted temporarily. After the
defibrillation, the monitoring will go on normally, and the operation mode and the user
configuration are not affected.
WARNING
1 Verify transducer cables fault detection before the beginning of monitoring phase.
Unplug the transducer of the channel 1 from the socket, and then the screen will
display the error message IBP1 SENSOR OFF and the audible alarm is activated.
The channel 2 is the same as the above channel 1.
2 If any kind of liquid, other than solution to be infused in pressure line or transducer, is
splashed on the equipment or its accessories, or enters the transducer or the monitor,
contact the Hospital Service Center immediately.
NOTE:
Calibrate the instrument either whenever a new transducer is used, or as frequently as
dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy.
17.3 Monitoring Procedure
Preparatory steps for IBP measurement:
1. Plug the pressure cable into the corresponding socket and switch on the monitor.
2. Prepare the flush solution.
3. Flush through the system, exhaust all air from the tube, ensure that the transducer and
stopcocks are free of air bubbles.
4. Connect the patient catheter to the pressure line, making sure that there is no air present in the
catheter or pressure line.
