Using the Wave Cursor
When the pressure wave is selected, you can display a cursor in the wave. It appears as a white
horizontal line in the wave. Using the pop-up keys you can move the cursor up or down to the
required position and store the corresponding value. The cursor value can be stored
• as a systolic, diastolic or mean pressure value,
• as an IAP (intra-abdominal pressure) value - for the waves P, P1 to P8, if IAP is configured as a
measurement which can be manually entered
• as a PAWP value - if the pressure wave is a PAP wave
The stored value appears in the trend database as a manually entered value.
To display and position the cursor
1 Select the pressure wave.
2 Select Activate Cursor.
3 Use the pop-up arrow keys to position the cursor.
Using the pop-up keys you can also change the scale or the speed for the wave, freeze the wave or start
a printout or recording.
Non-Physiological Artifact Suppression
Some clinical procedures may affect blood pressure, for example, a flush procedure or a blood sample.
Your monitor may be configured to suppress these non-physiological artifacts for a specified duration
(
Artifact Suppr. is configured to 30 sec, 60 sec, or 90 sec). During artifact suppression, the monitor
shows the INOP message
<Press Label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is shown beside the
pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the
<Press Label> NON-PULSATILE INOP are suppressed
during the configured period. The CPP alarms are not suppressed.
Choosing the Pressure Alarm Source
WARNING
Make sure you set alarm limits for the correct label. The alarm limits you set are stored for that
particular label only. Changing the label may change the alarm limits.
You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic and mean pressure, either singly or in
parallel. Only one alarm is given at a time, in this order of priority: mean, systolic, diastolic.
In the
Setup <Press Label> menu, select Alarms from and choose the source.
