IP Scale Options
The IP monitor can display pressures from -30 to 300 mmHg. After zeroing the transducer
pressure, the monitor automatically selects one of the following scales based on the patient’s
measured pressure:
•
-30 to 30 mmHg
• 0 to 60 mmHg
•
0 to 120 mmHg
• 0 to 150 mmHg
•
0 to 180 mmHg
• 0 to 300 mmHg
You can also manually select one of these scales or autoscale to readjust the waveform within
the channel.
To change the scale:
1. Use the
SPEED DIAL
to outline and select the P1 area. The P1 menu appears.
2. From the menu, select
SCALE
and then choose a scale from the list.
Cleaning and Inspection
IP transducers are disposable and are intended for single-patient use. Do not clean and reuse
transducers. Dispose of the contaminated waste according to local protocols.
IP cables are reusable and may be cleaned. To clean the reusable IP cable:
1. Disconnect the cable from the monitor.
2. Inspect the cable for damage or wear.
3. Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with a germicidal solution to wipe clean.
4. Allow to dry before reconnecting the cable to the monitor.
