other TI sensors are used.
3. Select the C.O. parameter window to enter the [C.O. Setup] menu. Check if the height and weight are appropriate
for your patient. Change if necessary.
4. In the [C.O. Setup] menu:
Check that the correct computation constant is entered. Refer to the Instruction for Use of pulmonary artery
catheter to determine the [Comp. Const] according to the entered injectate volume and temperature. To
change the computation constant, select [Comp. Const] and then enter the correct value. When a new
catheter is used, the computation constant should be adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
Set the [Auto TI] to [Manual] or [Auto]. If you select [Auto], the system automatically detects the injectate
temperature, and the [Manual TI(°C)] is disabled. If you select [Manual], you need to enter the injectate
temperature at [Manual TI(°C)] manually.
Set the [Measuring Mode] to [Manual] or [Auto]. In [Auto] mode, the monitor automatically takes C.O.
measurement after establishing a baseline blood temperature. In [Manual] mode, you need to click the [Start]
button in the C.O. measurements window when the monitor is ready for new C.O. measurement.
