PiCCO: Ht/Wt/
Sex/Catheter
Position?
The patient’s height, weight,
sex, and/or catheter position
information was not entered.
Enter the height and weight information.
WARNING: 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.
PiCCO:
Calibration Failed
• PiCCO calibration failed
(p-CO out of range)
• Static, unstable, or invalid
ART pressure
• Error in bolus injection due to
p-IT invalid or out of range.
NOTE: For successful PiCCO
calibration, always perform TD
measurements with valid
arterial pressure values.
• Check the pressure measurement and retry
calibration.
• Verify the valid pressure is displayed before
performing thermodilution.
• Check the pressure line and transducer on air
bubbles.
• Make sure the arterial catheter is correctly
positioned.
• Check all connections from the catheter to the
PiCCO pod.
PiCCO Blood
Temp Sensor
Failure
Sensor accessory malfunction
(ART blood temp sensor failure/
malfunction).
• Check the connections.
• Check the expiration date of catheter.
• Disconnect and examine the catheter or
cable.
• Replace the catheter, if necessary.
• Check the patient.
P-CO: p-BT Out
of Range
The blood temperature (p-BT)
is out of range (high/low).
P-CO: Time Out The thermodilution curve is
longer than 90 seconds.
• The thermistor of arterial
catheter defective/
malfunctioning
• The arterial thermodilution
cable is loose or defective
• The injection is outside of the
central veinous catheter
• Unlikely high thermal volume
• Unlikely low CO
• Change the arterial catheter
• Check the connection of temperature interface
cable and arterial thermodilution cable. If
necessary, change the cable.
• Check the stopcocks and make sure the
injectate is injected in the CV-line.
• Check the patient and treat, if necessary
ART/CVP: Please
Check Zero
Zero required (always zero
before calibration).
• Zero the transducer from the menu selection
• Press the zero ( ) fixed key.
ART/CVP: Zero
Accepted
ART/CVP zeroing is completed. Informational message; no action required
