HemoSphere Advanced Monitor 1 Introduction
21
A comprehensive list of parameters available for adult and pediatric patient populations while monitoring
with the HemoSphere advanced monitor and both a connected HemoSphere pressure cable and oximetry
cable are listed below in table 1-5.
WARNING Improper use of the HemoSphere advanced monitor could present a hazard to the patient.
Carefully read the “warnings” section of this manual, located in chapter 2, before using the
platform.
The HemoSphere advanced monitor is intended for use only in patient assessment. This
instrument must be used in conjunction with a bedside physiological monitor and/or
patient clinical signs and symptoms. If hemodynamic values obtained from the device are
not consistent with the clinical presentation of the patient, consider troubleshooting before
initiating treatment options.
ECG signal input and all parameters derived from heart rate measurements have not been
evaluated for pediatric patients and are therefore not available for that patient population.
