Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual 14-1
14 Monitoring IBP
14.1 Introduction
The Passport 12 monitor can monitor up to 4 invasive blood pressures and Passport 8 monitors can monitor up to 2
invasive blood pressures (using an external module). The monitor can display the systolic, diastolic and mean pressures
and a waveform for each pressure.
14.2 Safety
WARNING
Use only pressure transducers specified in this manual. Never reuse disposable pressure transducers.
Make sure that the applied parts never contact other conductive parts.
To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedure, ensure that the monitor’s cables
and transducers never come into contact with the high-frequency surgical units.
When using accessories, their operating temperature should be taken into consideration. For details, refer
to instructions for use of accessories.
The neutral electrode of the electro-surgery unit (ESU) shall properly contact the patient. Otherwise, burns
may result.
14.3 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:
A new transducer or adapter cable is used.
You reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor.
The monitor restarts.
You doubt the readings.
