PAP will be automatically selected on the Select Pressure panel.
6 Level the stopcock valve (vent port) just above the TruWave transducer to the patient’s
phlebostatic axis position according to the instructions for use.
7 Open the stopcock valve to measure atmospheric conditions. The pressure should display as a flat
line.
8 Press the physical zero button directly on the pressure cable, or touch the zero button
located on the screen. When zeroing is complete, a tone sounds, and the message “Zero
Complete” appears.
9 Confirm stable zero pressure value and turn stopcocks such that sensors are reading patient
pulmonary artery pressure. The Zero & Waveform screen is the only place to view pulmonary
artery pressure while in Swan-Ganz module monitoring mode.
10 Touch the home icon to return to Swan-Ganz module monitoring. Return to the Zero &
Waveform screen at any time to view PAP data.
10.6 Zero & Waveform Screen
This screen is accessed through the clinical actions menu and provides three primary functions:
1 Select pressure and zero the sensor
2 Output pressure signal
3 Check waveform
10.6.1 Select Pressure and Zero Sensor
As previously described, the primary function of the Zero & Waveform screen is to allow the user to zero
the attached pressure sensor/transducer. The user is required to zero the sensor before monitoring is
initiated with the pressure cable.
