Optimizing the Waveform 13 Monitoring Invasive Pressure

Optimizing the Waveform
♦ In the Setup <Press> menu, select Optimum Scale to let the monitor select the best
minimum and maximum scales for the current wave.
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 Suppression is configured to 30, 60, or 90 seconds). During artifact suppression,
the monitor shows the INOP message <Pressure label> ARTIFACT, and a question mark is
shown beside the pressure numerics. Pressure alarms and the Pulse NON-PULSATILE INOP are
suppressed during the configured period. The CPP high alarm is 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> menu, select Al. from and choose the source.
♦ Select and set the High Limit and Low Limit for the pressure(s) you have selected.
Extreme Alarm Limits
The extreme pressure alarms, Extreme High and Extreme Low, can be made available for your monitor
in Configuration Mode and are additional to the standard High and Low limit alarms. They are
generated by the active pressure alarm source, and are setup in Configuration Mode by adding a set
value (the  value) to the high and low alarm limits. This value can be set for each pressure label
individually.
