IBP Monitoring (optional) Measuring IBP
9.4 Measuring IBP
1. Plug the pressure transducer cable into the IBP port(s) on the left side panel.
2. The IBP1 and IBP2 waveforms will appear by default as the fifth and sixth waveforms on
the display with their associated data to the right of the waveforms. The waveforms may
be moved to another location or turned off by accessing the Display Setup Menu.
NOTE: The arterial pressure catheter should not be used on a limb
that is being utilized for any other medical procedure. For
example, an IV Catheter, NIBP Cuff or an SpO
2
sensor.
3. Connect catheter line with flushing device to a pressure transducer.
4. Zero pressure transducer as follows:
a. Open transducer vent to atmosphere.
b. Press the IPB: Zero All key on the front panel, or individually zero pressure lines
by opening individual IBP menus.
After the automatic zero process is complete, the pressure display should indicate zeros.
NOTE: If an IBP channel zeroing failed, for Pulsatile Pressure or
Pressure Overrange, the message “Pulsatile Pressure.
Cannot Zero!” or “Pressure Overrange. Cannot Zero!” is
displayed.
5. Close the pressure transducer vent from atmosphere.
6. Select the desired pressure scale in the IBP Menu.
7. Zero and flush the pressure line at regular intervals per standard hospital procedure.
NOTE: Pressure transducers are protected against the effects of
defibrillation and electrocautery.
