Monitoring Invasive Pressures
2000966-386D Dash™ 3000/4000/5000 9-3
Default Site Labels
The BP patient connector default site labels are:
BP1 — ART
BP2 — PA
BP3 — CVP
BP4 — LA
NOTE
The default site labels in OPERATING ROOM are persistent, meaning they are
retained after the patient is discharged from the monitor.
Analog Output
All pressure outputs are 10 mV/mmHg when zeroed.
NOTE
A buzz signal is sent to the analog output if the pressure is not zeroed.
The pressure labeled ART is sent to the analog output.
If both pressure sites are labeled ART, BP1 is sent to the analog output.
If no pressure sites are labeled ART, BP1 is sent to the analog output.
