measurement with the right ventricular ejection fraction.
1 On a frozen M Mode sweep, tap Calcs .
If this control is hidden, tapping More Controls displays it.
2 On the calculation list, tap TAPSE .
3 On the measurements list, tap TAPSE .

WARNINGS

To avoid incorrect calculations, verify that the patient information, date, and
time settings are accurate.

To avoid misdiagnosis or harming the patient outcome, start a new patient
form before starting a new patient exam and performing calculations. Starting
a new patient form clears the previous patient’s data. The previous patient’s
data will be combined with the current patient if the form is not first cleared.
See “Editing patient information” on page 4-31.
