Version 3.1 C-45
Injection Error - Inject faster than
10 s
Time of injection longer than
10 seconds
Repeat injection rapidly
and smoothly
TD Curve Error - Stabilize patient
temperature and repeat injection
Calculation error of MTt / DSt
caused by temperature
interferences
Eliminate interference and
repeat injection
Baseline Error - Stabilize patient
temperature and repeat injection
Large temperature variations
detected
Eliminate temperature
variations and repeat
injection
Time Out - Repeat fast injection
with cold injectate
Thermodilution curve not
finished within 90 seconds,
possibly very high EVLW with
low CO
Repeat injection with cold
and/or more injectate, if
necessary stabilize
patient
Error: Injectate too warm
Injectate temperature above
blood temperature
Use colder injectate
(< 24°C)
Warning: Injectate too warm
Use colder injectate
(< 24°C)
ΔT small - Use more and/or
colder injectate
Use more and/or colder
injectate
Invalid PCCO Calibration - Check
AP signal and repeat injection
Implausible arterial pressure
signal, signal interferences
Eliminate possible
interferences and repeat
injection

Calibration Error - Check
optical module and probe
Defective module, probe or
connections
Check module and probe,
if necessary replace and
repeat calibration
Signal too high -
Check probe and position
Artifact due to vessel wall
contact of probe
Check probe, if necessary
relocate and repeat
calibration
Signal too low -
Check probe and position
Probe or module damaged,
defective connector
Check probe, if necessary
replace it and repeat
calibration
Too much ambient light - Check
optical module
Optical module damaged,
defective connector
Check module, if
necessary replace it and
repeat calibration. Avoid
too much ambient light.
Optical module disconnected -
Check optical module and probe
connections
Optical module not
connected
