Catheter check – The catheter check is only visible in zoom mode when the
flow is 0 mL / min.
– Ask the patient to breathe slowly and deeply 3 times.
– In zoom mode, a pressure difference from minimal 0.3 kPa
between inspiration [

a flow of 0 mL / min. This pressure difference is an indication
for the respiration cycle of the patient and confirms that the
patient catheter (drain) is not clogged.
