NOTE: Refer to the simulators' documentation for details on how to use and configure the
simulators.
3.3.2 Invasive pressure tests
1. Zeroing
a.
Ensure that the simulator InvBP output channel is configured to "0 mmHg static
pressure" or "atmosphere".
b. Zero the P8 invasive pressure channel by pressing
Zero P8
module key in the
module.
c. Check that a message Zeroing followed by a message Zeroed is shown in the P8
parameter window.
2. Static pressure
a.
Configure the simulator InvBP output channel to "200 mmHg static pressure".
b. Check that a flat pressure line appears on the P8 waveform field. The reading in the
parameter window shall be
200 ±10 mmHg .
NOTE: Recalibration is needed if the measured value is not within the specification limits.
Calibrate the invasive pressure channels according to the instructions in
4.1. Invasive pressure
calibration section.
3. Pressure waveforms
a.
Configure the simulator's InvBP output channel to "Arterial 120/80".
b. Check that the pressure waveform for the P8 invasive pressure channel appears in
the waveform window and the Sys/Dia (Mean) pressure values are shown in the
related parameter window.
4. Mark this task as complete on the checkout form.
3.3.3 Cardiac output tests
Perform CCO calibration with the PiCCO CCO simulator.
NOTE: This test is optional.
NOTE: The invasive pressure measurement must be
ON for CCO calibration.
5. Cardiac Output / CCO calibration
a.
Select the Procedures > Cardiac Output > Calibrate.
b. Select START C.O. to start the calibration.
c. Wait until the Inject now! message appears on the Cardiac Output / CCO window.
Turn the "Inject" toggle switch in the PiCCO CCO simulator to the "START" position
and hold it there for 1 to 2 seconds before you release the switch.
d. Check that a thermodilution curve is displayed on the screen and wait until the C.O.
complete message is shown.
e. Check that the measured C.O. value is updated to the screen and no error messages
are shown.
f. Select the Cancel/Reject Injectation to reject any noisy or erroneous measurement
results.
g. Repeat steps from b) to f) until you have at least 3 good measurement results.
h. Check that the average of the measured C.O. values is updated to the C.O. field on
the Cardiac Output / CCO window.
