Edwards EV1000

Chapter 3: Unpacking and Initial Setup
his chapter covers unpacking and the initial setup of the
EV1000 Clinical Platform NI. The ClearSight Finger
Cuff is a required accessory.
Unpacking
Examine the shipping container for any signs of damage that
may have occurred during transit. If you do detect any
damage, we recommend you photograph the package and
contact Edwards Technical Support for assistance.
Contents List
The EV1000 Clinical Platform NI contents include the
EV1000 Noninvasive System and EV1000 monitor. See
Table 3-1. Disposable items, such as ClearSight Finger Cuffs
and Heart Reference Sensor (HRS) body pads may be
delivered separately. We recommend you confirm receipt of
all ordered equipment.
Examine the contents of the shipping container. Perform a
visual inspection of the Pump-Unit, Pressure Controller, HRS
and all cables. Report any evidence of external damage,
frayed cords, or broken or bent connector pins. Refer to
Appendix A: Table A-4, for a full list of system parts and
accessories.
 The Pressure Controller is shipped with plastic caps
covering the ClearSight Finger Cuff and HRS connection
ports. These should be removed when using the system for
the first time. It is recommended that the cuff connector caps
be kept and used to protect the Pressure Controller against
the ingress of water and dirt when only a single cuff is used.
Parameter Monitoring Accessories
The ClearSight Finger Cuff enables the EV1000 to
noninvasively monitor Brachial Arterial Pressure and other
key hemodynamic parameters. The ClearSight Finger Cuff is
intended for single patient use. The system parameters
available when using ClearSight technology are CO, CI, DIA,
MAP, PR, SV, SVI, SVV and SYS. Although not required for
noninvasive CO monitoring, a CVP value is required for
continuous SVR/SVRI monitoring.
