20.5 ICG Display
The ICG monitoring provides a continuous display of the impedance waveform and four numerics. Of five
numerics, one is the primary parameter C.I. and the other four are secondary parameters. You can select the
parameter for display in the
Select Parameter page of the ICG menu. For more information, see
20.8.4 Selecting ICG Parameters.
20.6 Accessing the On-screen ICG Guide
The monitor provides the on-screen ICG guide to help you understand ICG monitoring principles, functions, and
operating procedure. To access the on-screen ICG guide, follow this procedure:
1. Select the ICG waveform are or numeric area to enter the
ICG menu.
2. Select the
Introduction tab.
3. Select the desired tab of
Summary, Target Patients, Points To Note, or Operation Guides.
20.7 Preparing for ICG Monitoring
To prepare to monitor ICG, follow this procedure:
1. Prepare the patient’s skin. For more information, see
20.7.1 Preparing the Skin.
2. Place the ICG sensors on the patient. For more information, see
20.7.2 Placing the ICG Sensors.
3. Connect one end of the patient cable to the ICG module.
4. Connect the electrode wires of the patient cable to the sensors on the patient by matching the right and
left electrode wire colors and numbers. For more information, see
20.7.3 Connecting the ICG Patient
Cable
.
5. Input the patient information. For more information, see
20.8.2 Changing Patient Information.
• Before monitoring patients with pacemakers, ensure that the function of the pacemaker cannot be
influenced by the measuring current used for impedance cardiography. In the case of minute
ventilation pacemakers the use of the ICG module is not allowed if the minute ventilation function of
the pacemaker is activated.
