Operations
2.1 Getting Started
The Trio features default factory settings that enable monitoring to begin without setting 
waveforms, parameters, alarms, or functions. Each of these settings can be changed based 
on specific patient or departmental needs. Certain operating characteristics (e.g. NIBP start 
pressure) are based on the selected patient size.
CAUTION: The patient size selection should be matched to the actual 
patient before monitoring begins.
Before using the monitor, complete the following steps:
1. Examine the device, all external cables, inserted modules and accessories for damage
2. Check all monitor functions for proper operation.
NOTE: If the monitor is damaged, contact the biomedical engineer 
of the hospital or Customer Service immediately.
