Chapter 15 IBP Monitoring
15.1 Introduction
The monitor can provide 2-channel IBP measurement, generate and display real-time waveform, systolic pressure, mean
pressure and diastolic pressure for each channel.
15.2 Safety information
WARNING
l
When applying the accessories, make sure the accessories selected comply with medical device safety
requirements.
l
Disposable IBP transducer should not be reused.
l
The operator should avoid contact with the conductive parts of the appurtenance when it is connected or
applied.
l
When the monitor is used with HF surgical equipment, the transducer and the cables must be avoided from
conductive connection to the HF equipment. This is to protect against burns to the patient.
l
If any kind of liquid, other than solution to be infused in pressure line or transducer, is splashed on the
equipment or its accessories, or enters the transducer or the monitor, contact the Hospital Service Center
immediately.
NOTE:
l
Use only the pressure transducer listed in the User Manual.
l
Whether it is a new sensor or a sensor used, it should be calibrated in accordance with hospital procedures.
15.3 Monitoring Procedure
1. Insert the pressure sensor cable into the IBP interface.
2. Prepare the rinse solution.
3. Rinse the system, exhaust all air in the pipeline. Make sure there are no air bubbles in the sensor or the value.
WARNING
l
If there are air bubbles in the pipeline, you should rinse the system with the solution. As air bubble may
cause false pressure reading.
4. Connect the patient catheter to the pressure pipe.
5. Place the sensor at the same level as the heart, about the middle-axillary line.
6. Select a correct label name.
7. Zero the transducer.
8. After zeroing successfully, turn off the valve from the transducer to atmospheric pressure, and turn on the valve to
the patient.
