Monitoring IBP
11-5
îš„ [Dia]: alarms are given only when the diastolic pressure violates the alarm limits.
îš„ [Mean]: alarms are given only when the mean pressure violates the alarm limits.
îš„ [Sys&Mean]: alarms are given when the systolic or mean pressure violates the alarm
limits.
îš„ [Mean&Dia]: alarms are given when the mean or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
îš„ [Sys&Dia]: alarms are given when the systolic or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
îš„ [All]: alarms are given when the systolic or mean or diastolic pressure violates the alarm
limits.
11.5.4 Setting the Pressure Unit
In the setup menu for the pressure, select [Unit] and toggle between [mmHg], [cmH2O] and
[kPa].
11.5.5 Setting Up the IBP Wave
In the waveform menu for the pressure, you can:
îš„ Select [Sweep] and then select the appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the
wider the wave is.
 Change the size of the pressure’s waveform by adjusting [Upper Scale], [Middle Scale]
or [Lower Scale].
11.6 Zeroing the Transducer
To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer
in accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). Zero whenever:
îš„ A new transducer or adapter cable is used.
îš„ You reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor.
îš„ The monitor restarts.
îš„ You doubt the readings.
1. Turn off the stopcock to the patient.
