Passport 12/Passport 8 Operator’s Manual 14-5
14.6.2 Setting Alarm Properties
Select [Alarm Setup >>] from the parameter setup menu. You can set alarm properties for this parameter in the pop-up
menu.
14.6.3 Changing Averaging Time
The IBP value displayed on the monitor screen is the average of data collected within a specific time. The shorter the
averaging time is, the quicker the monitor responds to changes in the patient’s blood pressure. Contrarily, the longer the
averaging time is, the slower the monitor responds to changes in the patient’s blood pressure, but the measurement
accuracy will be improved. For critically ill patients, selecting shorter averaging time will help understanding the
patient’s state.
To set the averaging time, in the parameter setup menu, select [Sensitivity] and then select [High], [Med] or [Low], the
corresponding averaging time is about 1 s, 8 s and 12 s respectively.
14.6.4 Setting Up the IBP Wave
In the setup menu for the pressure, you can:
Select [Sweep] and then select the appropriate setting. The faster the wave sweeps, the wider the wave is.
Select [Scale] and then select the appropriate setting. If [Auto] is selected, the size of the pressure’s waveform will
be adjusted automatically.
Select [Filter] and then select the desired option.
14.6.5 Setting the Pressure Unit
Select [Unit Setup >>] from the [User Maintenance] menu. In the pop-up menu, select [Press. Unit] and then select
[mmHg] or [kPa]. Select [CVP Unit] and then select [mmHg], [cmH2O] or [kPa].
14.6.6 Enabling PPV Measurement and Setting PPV Source
PPV indicates pulse pressure variation. To enable PPV measurement, set [PPV Measurement] to [On].
