A maximum of 6 measurements can be stored. If you perform more than six measurements
without rejecting any, the oldest will automatically be deleted when a seventh curve is stored.
Select from the 6 measurement curves and the system will automatically calculate and
display the averaged C.O. and C.I. values. Then select the [Accept Average] button to accept
and store the averaged values.
When injecting, the stopcock to the PA catheter is open and the stopcock to the injectate
solution is closed. After the measurement is completed, turn off the stopcock to the PA
catheter and turn on the stopcock to the injectate solution, and then draw the injectate
solution into the injectate syringe.
In the buttons area, you can:
 Select [Start] to start a C.O. measurement.
 Select [Stop] to stop the current measurement.
 Select [Cancel] during a measurement to cancel the measurement. Selecting it after a
measurement deletes the measured results.
 Select [Record] to print out the curves selected for average calculation, numerics and
averaged values by the recorder.
 Select [Setup >>] to access the [C.O. Setup] menu.
 Select [Calc >>]ė[Hemodynamic >>] to access the [Hemodynamic Calculation]
menu.
The system can automatically adjust the X-axis scale range to 30 s or 60 s and Y-axis scale
range to 0.5ć, 1.0ć, or 2.0ć.
NOTE
z Starting measuring without blood temperature being stable yet may cause
measuring failure.
z During the cardiac output measurement, blood temperature alarms are inactive.
z Please refer to the Instructions for Use of pulmonary artery catheter delivered
with the patient monitor to determine the [Comp. Const] and the volume of
injectate.
