Precautions
The following precautions apply to IBP procedures. Refer to your hospital’s clinical
guidelines for further information. For general precautions regarding the use of
accessories and peripheral devices, see “Safety Considerations” on page 6 of these
Instructions for Use. For a complete list of Dräger provided IBP accessories available
with this product, see page C-19. Any use of non-approved transducers may
compromise the correct functioning of the device.
Hardware Setup
Tubing
For maximum signal strength, choose the shortest possible length of high-pressure
tubing for connection to the patient. Shorter tubing reduces signal attenuation and the
effects of motion artifacts. High-pressure tubing limits signal dampening. Follow your
hospital’s clinical procedures in assembling the tubing system. Be sure to remove all
bubbles from the system, as they dampen the signal and could lead to incorrect
systolic pressure measurements.
Transducers
Transducers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. (For a complete list of
Dräger provided IBP accessories available with this product, see page C-19.) For
information on connecting the transducer to the monitor and pod or Y-cable (see page
14-6).
Zeroing
You can either zero a single transducer at a time or use the “Smart Zero” function to
zero all static transducers simultaneously.
WARNING: To prevent patient injury, never reuse a single-use
transducer.
