Invasive pressure safety precautions

Invasive pressure warnings

WARNING

All invasive procedures involve risks to the patient. Use aseptic

technique. Incorrect use of the catheter can lead to vessel

perforation. Follow catheter manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

Make sure that no part of the patient connections touches

any electrically conductive material including earth.

WARNING

Mechanical shock to an invasive blood pressure transducer

may cause severe shifts in the zero balance and calibration,

and cause erroneous readings.

WARNING

Repositioning the patient after a completed zeroing procedure

may cause incorrect measurement values.

WARNING

When connecting PDM or TRAM, the loaded IP labels may

affect the channel labeling of other already connected

channels, and consequently also the alarm limits.

Invasive pressure measurement limitations

●

E-modules used for this measurement are not suitable for use with neonatal
patients.

Invasive pressure points to note

●

Depending on the invasive pressure module used, not all invasive pressure
measurements and settings are available to view or change.
