Methodology and Monitoring
7-7
10 To change a parameter, touch outside the globe and select
the replacement parameter. This affects every monitoring
screen. See “Change Parameters” on page 5-3.
The screen will return to the monitoring view after two
minutes of inactivity.
11 Touch the Stop Monitoring button on the
Navigation bar to end monitoring at any time.
Set Targets and Alarm Limits
Touch anywhere inside a globe, cockpit, or BP parameter
window next to the arterial waveform display to access a
popup target menu on top of the parameter globe. Use this
menu to change the alarm and target values.Use the arrows to
increase or decrease the upper and lower targets.
The red, yellow and green bars don’t change size or shape
when you change the limits (see “Set Targets” on page 6-5
for complete information).
1 Touch the parameter globe to bring up the Alarms /
Targets popup.

WARNING
If using the instrument during full body irradiation, keep
all EV1000 Noninvasive System monitoring
components out of the irradiation field. If a monitoring
component is exposed to the irradiation, the readings
may be affected.
WARNING
Strong magnetic fields may cause malfunction of the
instrument and burn wounds to the patient. Do not use
the instrument during magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) scanning. Induced current could potentially cause
burns.The device may affect the MR image, and the
MRI unit may affect the accuracy of the measurements.
CAUTION
The EV1000 Noninvasive System is not intended for
use as an apnea monitor.
CAUTION
In patients with extreme contraction of the smooth
muscle in the arteries and arterioles in the lower arm
and hand, such as may be present in patients with
Raynaud's disease, blood pressure measurement can
become impossible.
CAUTION
Inaccurate noninvasive measurements can be caused
by factors such as:
• Improperly zeroed and/or leveled HRS
• Excessive variations in blood pressure. Some con-
ditions that cause BP variations include, but are not
limited to:
* Intra-aortic balloon pumps
• Any clinical situation where the arterial pressure is
deemed inaccurate or not representative of aortic
pressure.
• Poor blood circulation to the fingers.
• A bent or flattened ClearSight Finger Cuff.
• Excessive patient movement of fingers or hands.
• Artifacts and poor signal quality.
• Incorrect placement or position of the ClearSight
Finger Cuff.
• Electrocautery or electrosurgical unit interference.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the ClearSight Finger Cuff when it is
not wrapped around a finger, to prevent damage by
accidental over-inflation.
