Description:
•
Current status
: the cable connection status and measuring status.
•
Waveform area
: displays blood temperature (BT) waveform.
• IT(°C) : Injectate Temperature (the temperature of saline to be injected).
• BT(°C) : Blood Temperature (the temperature of blood at the tip end of the catheter).
•
C.I.(l/min/m
2
)
: Cardiac function Index (blood volume per min per m
2
, the normal value is 2.5-4.0 l/min/m
2
).
•
C.O.(l/min)
: Cardiac Output (blood volume per min, the normal value is 4-8 l/min).
• Examin. records : displays the current and history result of C.O. measurement. These records will be lost if
the monitor is shut off. Procedure of reviewing examination records: Menu

History Records

C.O. List.
• “ / ”: select previous/next record.
• “ ” delete this record.
• Countdown : displays the left time to the next examination.
• “30s” : time interval between two examinations.
•
Start
: move the focus on the icon “start” and press the Navigator Knob to start C.O. measurement.
•
Stop
: move the focus on the icon “stop” and press the Navigator Knob to terminate C.O. measurement.
• Parameters : to select the brand and type of the catheter and its correction constant, as well as the injectate
temperature and volume etc.. See Section Changing C.O. Settings
1. On “Cardiac Output” display screen, move the focus to icon “parameters” to enter into “Parameter Set-
tings” screen. Select the brand and model of the used catheter, set the correction constant of this catheter,
and the method to measure injectate temperature or its temperature value, injectate volume. If there is no
temperature probe contained in C.O. cable kit, then the injectate temperature has to be measured and input
manually, the measuring method should be set as ”Manual”. If the temperature probe is available in C.O.
cable kit, then the injectate temperature can be measured automatical, and the measuring method should
be set as “Auto”, i.e. it’s unnecessary to input the temperature value.
2. : Time interval setting. A submenu above the “Start”, 4 options: 30s, 40s, 60s and 90s. This is
the time interval between two measurements, which can be set as desired operation.
C.O. Measurement
Note: Finishing setting, “ready” information prompts up on the screen. Otherwise, make sure that the cables
are well connected.
• Start : When the C.O. measurement preparation is ready, move the focus to the icon “Start” and press the
Navigator Knob to start measuring. Start to inject the saline when BT measurement value appears in BT
waveform. During injection, make sure that the injecting speed should be constant and the injection should
be done within 30s.
• End : During measuring, move the focus on the icon “End” and press the Navigator Knob to terminate C.O.
measurement if necessary. If the device finishes the C.O. measurement normally, the result will be displayed
and saved in the history records as well, the counting down timer also starts. If the measurement result is
unacceptable, the user can delete it, then the average values will be updated automatically.
In C.O. Settings window, move the focus on C.O. record list area, rotate the navigator knob to one record and
press it can review the current record on C.O. waveform area, or the user can press “ ” and “ ”
to review the records.
