◆
Check if the height and weight are appropriate for your patient. Change if necessary. The patient's
height and weight values are required for determining cardiac index (C.I.).
◆
Check that the correct computation constant is entered. The computation constant has a close
relationship with the entered injectate volume, injectate probe type (in-line probe or bath probe) and
temperature. See the Instruction for Use of pulmonary artery catheter to determinate. To change the
computation constant, select
Comp Const
and then input the correct value. When a new catheter is
used, the computation constant should be adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions for use.
◆
Switch on or off
Auto TI
. If
Auto TI
is switched on, the system automatically detects the injectate
temperature, and
TI
setting is disabled. If
Auto TI
is switched off, you need to input the injectate
temperature at
TI
.
◆
Switch on or off
Auto Start
. If
Auto Start
is switched on, the monitor automatically takes the C.O.
measurement after establishing a baseline of blood temperature. If
Auto Start
is switched off, you
need to click the
Start
button in the
C.O. Measure
window for a new measurement.

2.
Proceed as follows to perform the C.O. measure:
◆
If
Auto Start
is switched off, select the
Start
button, and then inject the solution quickly when you
see the message
Please Wait
. As shown in the figure above, during the measurement, the currently
measured thermodilution curve is displayed. At the end of the measurement, the thermodilution
curve is transferred to one of the 6 measurement windows and the monitor prompts you to wait for a
certain period of time before starting a new measurement.
◆
If
Auto Start
is switched on, inject the solution quickly when you see the message
Ready For New
Set of Measurements
. The monitor consecutively takes C.O. measurements automatically without
the need for pressing the
Start
button between two measurements. A new thermodilution
measurement is possible as soon as the message
Inject Now!
is displayed on the screen. The monitor
automatically detects further thermodilution measurements.
