14-2 Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual
To zero the transducer:
1. Turn off the stopcock to the patient.
2. Vent the transducer to the atmospheric pressure by turning on the stopcock to the air.
3. In the setup menu for the pressure (e.g. Art), select [Art Zero >>]→[Zero]. During zero calibration, the [Zero]
button appears dimmed. It recovers after the zero calibration is completed. To zero all IBP channels, select [Zero
IBP] hotkey, and then select [Zero All Channels] in the pop-up menu.
4. After the zero calibration is completed, close the stopcock to the air and open the stopcock to the patient.
NOTE
Your hospital policy may recommend that the ICP transducer is zeroed less frequently than other
transducers.
14.4 Setting Up the Pressure Measurement
To set up the pressure measurement:
1. Plug the pressure cable into the IBP connector.
2. Prepare the flush solution.
3. Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are free of air bubbles.
WARNING
If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air bubble may
lead to wrong pressure reading.
