Monitoring IBP

 [Dia]: alarms are given only when the diastolic pressure violates the alarm limits.
 [Mean]: alarms are given only when the mean pressure violates the alarm limits.
 [Sys&Mean]: alarms are given when the systolic or mean pressure violates the alarm
limits.
 [Mean&Dia]: alarms are given when the mean or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
 [Sys&Dia]: alarms are given when the systolic or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
 [All]: alarms are given when the systolic or mean or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
11.5.4 Setting the Pressure Unit
In the setup menu for the pressure, select [Unit] and toggle between [mmHg], [cmH2O] and
[kPa].
11.5.5 Setting Up the IBP Wave
In the waveform menu for the pressure, you can:
 Select [Sweep] and then select the appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the
wider the wave is.
 Change the size of the pressure’s waveform by adjusting [Upper Scale], [Middle Scale]
or [Lower Scale].
11.6 Zeroing the Transducer
To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer
in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). Zero whenever:
 A new transducer or adapter cable is used.
 You reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor.
 The monitor restarts.
 You doubt the readings.
