Zero
This option allows you to change the designated name for the pressure
connector. Remember, the monitor has preset the name for the pressure
connector. (Refer to this chapter, Assigned BP Names.)
Having the name properly reflect the site is important for proper processing of
the waveform since different algorithms are used for different pressure sites.
Follow this procedure to change a name:
1. Select CHANGE NAME option from the pressure menu. A popup menu
opens showing all choices. The name presently assigned is designated
with the pointer (>).

The change will not take effect until the popup menu is closed.
