choosing system settingschapter 4 4-1
This chapter explains how to choose system settings — settings that custom-
ize your Terumo Cardiovascular Systems CDI System 550 for the way you
plan to use it. You choose these settings on a series of numeric setup
tabs that appear on the Terumo CDI System 550 Monitor. Here’s a list of
the setup tabs and a brief description of what you do with each one (the
details are in the sections that follow):
1 Printer options screen. Choose options for how and when you want to
print patient blood parameter values.
2 Alarms screen. Set high and low parameter thresholds to alert you when
patient blood parameter values fall outside the limits you specify.
3 Graphic display screen. Choose which values you want to see dis-
played in graphical format during operations.
4 General screen. Choose general screen parameters; which language
you want your monitor to display, the current date, time, date format, and
more.
5 Calculations screen. Specify values to be used in calculations per-
formed by the system as well as setting up a pump interface for blood
ow acquisition.
6 Serial port conguration screen. Set parameters for sending data to a
computer or data acquisition system.
For most of the options, once you’ve made your selections, you don’t need to
do it again unless there are changes in your system, your preferences, or the
way you use the system.
Selecting options on the setup screens
To choose options on the setup screens, use the navigation/input keys and the
edit key as shown in the next gure. In general, here’s how these keys work on
the setup screens:
To move the yellow highlight up or down, use the and keys. (The high-
lighted value is the selected one.)
To change the selected (yellow-highlighted) value, rst press the edit key (this
changes the highlight to black), then press the
and keys to scroll through
the possible settings for that value. The + and − keys scroll through the selec-
tions quickly if you continue to press the key, while the
and keys move
one selection with each press of the key.
To conrm the setting for the selected option, press √. (To cancel, or revert
to the original value, press X.) When you press √ or X, the highlight changes
back to yellow.
If there is more than one box, or eld, on a line, the rst selection in the line
will become black when you press the edit key. You will be able to move the
black highlight back and forth between the elds using the
and keys.
