Caution
Only the pressure sensor specified in the Manual can be used.
The specified sensor has shock-proof function (with resistance to leakage current) and can prevent
influence of cardiac defivrillators. It can be used in surgeries. When the patient is in the defibrillation
period, the pressure wave may exhibit temporary disorders; but after defibrillation, the monitor will work
normally and the operation mode and user configuration of it won‘t be affected.
Warning
Before monitoring, the sensor should be examined for normality assurance. If the sensor is
pulled out of the jack, an error-warning message, “IBP sensor detached”, will appear on the
screen and alarm sounds will be sent out.
Caution
Sensors, new or used, should be regularly calibrated according to hospital practice.
Warning
If liquid (not solution applied to the pressure pipe and the sensor) is splashed on the instrument
or accessories, especially when the liquid may enter the sensor or the monitor, place contact with
the maintenance department of your hospital.

Monitoring procedure
Measurement preparation:
1.
Insert cables into corresponding sockets and check to ensure the monitor has been
plugged in.
2.
Have the pressure pipe and the sensor prepared. Fill the system full with physiological
saline solution to make sure no bubble exists therein.
3.
Connect the patient catheter to the pressure pipe and make sure that there is no air in the
catheter and the pressure pipe or the sensor.
Warning
If bubbles are found in the pressure pipe or the sensor, flush the system with the perfusion
liquid.
1.
Position the sensor on the same level as the heart, approximately on the midaxiallary line
2.
Confirm correct ruler names have been chosen. See the following section for details.
3.
Do zero-adjustment of the sensor. See the following section for details.
