ICP value on Main panel
Notice
Note the ICP value displayed may be non-zero; this value reflects the hydration offset of the catheter while it is still in
air. This value will self-adjust automatically when the catheter is implanted into the patient.
7. Prior to implanting the catheter into the patient, disconnect the Flex Catheter from the Flex Extension
Cable. This will prevent the monitor from measuring ICP while the catheter is traveling, which may trigger
alarms caused by the sudden changes in pressure (see the following section for details).
8. After implanting the catheter into the patient, reconnect the Flex Catheter to the Flex Extension Cable.
Warning
Once the Flex Catheter has been initialized (i.e. autozeroed) by the Camino ICP Monitor, do not transfer this initialized
catheter to any other monitor. Transferring an initialized catheter to a different monitor may result in inaccurate ICP
measurements.
Warning
Once the Flex Catheter has been initialized (i.e. autozeroed) by the Camino ICP Monitor, do not replace the Flex Extension
Cable being used for patient measurement. Replacing the Flex Extension Cable with a different cable after the
Flex Catheter has already been initialized may result in inaccurate ICP measurements.
