ULSE CONTOUR CARDIAC OUTPUT (PICCO) MONITORING
Precautions
Refer to the “Safety Considerations” section starting on page 6, at the beginning of
these Instructions for Use, for general precautions regarding safe device operation.
Refer to the IBP chapter for general precautions related to IBP procedures. For a
complete list of PiCCO accessories provided by Dräger for this product, see
appendix C.
WARNING:
Do not use the PiCCO pod on patients for which
placement of an indwelling arterial catheter is
contraindicated.
Do not place the catheter tip in the aorta or within the
heart (intracardicac blood pressure measurements are
not allowed).
Patients on intra-aortic balloon counter pulsation
(IABP) cannot be monitored with pulse contour
analysis, however; the intermittent PiCCO
thermodilution will give valid results.
Always perform a discharge before monitoring a new
patient, to make sure that previous patient data is not
used for calculations.
The correct patient category and the correct input of
height, weight, sex and catheter position is mandatory
for the accuracy of the displayed parameters and for
the correct indexing of parameters. Confirm that the
selections are accurate.
