Zeroing the Invasive Blood Pressure(s)
IBPs may be zeroed by setting the blood pressure waveform to “Flat Line” in the Instructor Application
for SimMan 3G/Essential. Refer to your patient monitor's documentation for procedures of zeroing the
pressures within the monitor's user interface. Once the pressures are zeroed on the monitor, deselect
and apply the “Flat Line” setting in the Instructor Application to allow the waveforms to reappear. If the
blood pressure readings differ significantly from the values set in the Instructor Application, then
attempt to re-zero.
Step 1: To bring up the ABP Flat Line option in the Instructor Application, click on the IBP waveform (not
the number). Then check “Flatline” and click on the “Apply” button.
Step 2: Zero the pressure on the patient monitor. Verify that the zero value has succeeded on the
patient monitor.
Step 3: Uncheck the “Flatline” option and click “Apply”. Click “OK” to close the “Flat Line” dialog
window.
