16 Monitoring IBP
16.1 IBP Safety Information
• Use only pressure transducers specified in this manual. Never reuse disposable pressure
transducers.
• Make sure that the applied parts never contact other conductive parts.
• To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedure, ensure that the
equipment’s cables and transducers never come into contact with the high-frequency surgical units.
• When accessories are used, make sure the operation environment meets the requirements for
accessory’s operation temperature specified by the instructions for use.
16.2 IBP Measurement Procedure
• If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air
bubble may lead to wrong pressure reading.
• If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) for a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the
patient’s ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect reading.
16.3 IBP Troubleshooting
• For the physiological and technical alarm messages, refer to EAlarm Messages.
