HemoSphere Advanced Monitor 9 HemoSphere Swan-Ganz Module Monitoring
To access the patient CCO cable test window, touch the clinical actions icon More icon
Patient CCO Cable Test icon . Refer to figure 9-2 for numbered connections.
1 Attach the patient CCO cable to the inserted HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module .
2 Attach the patient CCO cable thermal filament connector and thermistor connector to their
mating test ports on the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module.
3 Touch the Start button to begin the cable test. A progress bar will appear.
4 Replace the patient CCO cable if it fails the cable test.
5 Touch the enter icon when the cable has passed. Disconnect the patient cable thermal
filament connector and thermistor connector from the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module.
9.2 Continuous Cardiac Output
The HemoSphere advanced monitor measures cardiac output continuously by introducing small pulses of
energy into the blood stream and measuring blood temperature via a pulmonary artery catheter. The
maximum surface temperature of the thermal filament used to release these pulses of energy within the
blood is 48 °C. Cardiac output is computed using proven algorithms derived from the conservation of heat
principles, and indicator dilution curves that are obtained by cross-correlation of energy input and blood
temperature waveforms. After initialization, the HemoSphere advanced monitor continuously measures and
displays the cardiac output in liters per minute without operator calibration or intervention.
9.2.1 Connecting the Patient Cables
1 Connect the patient CCO cable to the inserted HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module as previously
described in section 9.1.
