Invasive blood pressure
Safety precautions
Warnings
• All invasive procedures involve risks to the patient. Use aseptic
technique. Follow catheter manufacturer's instructions.
• Make sure that no part of the patient connections touches any
electrically conductive material including earth.
• Mechanical shock to the invasive blood pressure transducer may
cause severe shifts in zero balance and calibration, and cause
erroneous readings.
• When initializing the IBP parameter, Invasive blood pressure
alarm activation criteria may result in inactive limit alarms.
• When using the electrosurgery unit, ensure proper contact of the
ESU return electrode to the patient to avoid possible burns at
monitor measurement sites. Also ensure that the ESU return
electrode is near the operating area.
