HemoSphere Advanced Monitor 10 Monitoring with the HemoSphere Pressure Cable
142
10.6.2 Pressure-Out
The Zero & Waveform screen allows the user to output the pressure waveform to a connected patient
monitor.
1 Plug the HemoSphere pressure-out cable into the rear panel of the monitor at the pressure out
port. See
in figure 3-2 on page 44.
2 Connect the desired pressure signal plug into a compatible patient monitor:
• arterial pressure (AP, red)
• pulmonary artery pressure (PAP, yellow)
• central venous pressure (CVP, blue)
Ensure that the selected connector is fully engaged. Refer to the patient monitor instructions for
use.
3 Touch the zero patient monitor icon on the Zero Patient Monitor panel of the Zero &
Waveform screen and zero the patient monitor.
4 Touch the pressure signal icon to begin pressure signal output to the patient monitor.
10.6.3 Waveform Confirmation
The Zero & Waveform screen displays the arterial pressure waveform. Use this screen or the
continuous, real-time arterial (ART) waveform display (see link to Graphical trend subsection) to
assess the quality of the arterial waveform in response to “Fault: CO – Check Arterial
Waveform”. This fault is generated when the arterial pressure signal quality has been poor for
too long.
The vertical axis is auto-scaled to the Average BP value ± 50 mmHg.
Monitoring PAP in Swan-Ganz Module Mode. The Zero & Waveform is also utilized to monitor the
pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) when using the HemoSphere Swan-Ganz module in combination with the
pressure cable. Although PAP is not available as a key parameter, the waveform can be viewed on this screen.
WARNING Do not use the HemoSphere advanced monitoring platform as a pulse rate or blood
pressure monitor.
