13.
Open the stopcock on the transducer so the sensor is open to atmosphere. The pressure reading will go flat on
the screen. Flush the ART line tubing completely with saline or water. Touch
the “ZERO
SENSOR
” button on the
screen and the flat pressure reading will reposition to the zero line on the screen. Turn the transducer stopcock
so that it is closed to atmosphere and the reading will now be calibrated.

When the catheter is inserted, balloon not inflated, the systolic pressure of the model should be approximately
60-80 mmHg with the ideal pressure being 80mmHg. The two sliding bars on the display screen labeled
“Intensity” and “Offset” can be used to adjust this pressure
by varying the operation of the pump.
“Intensity”
controls the degree of pulsatory pattern flow.
“
Offset
”
controls a smooth flow from the pump that is combined
with the pulsatory patter
n. Together, the “intensity” and “Offset” allow a great deal of flexibility in simulation of
systolic and diastolic blood pressure combinations.
Your STAAR is now assembled and ready for use with the demo ER-
REBOA™ Catheter.
Consult the Quick Reference Guide for steps for inserting the demo ER-
REBOA™ Catheter.
