INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOP MEASUREMENT
This section covers how to operate the
A.T.S.
4000TS to measure Limb Occlusion Pressure (LOP). Included are
Single-Bladder Cuff LOP Measurement and Dual-Bladder Cuff LOP Measurement.
SINGLE-BLADDER CUFF LOP MEASUREMENT
To measure LOP with a Single Bladder Cuff, perform the following steps.
1
Press the Power button
to turn the unit ON. The unit will execute a diagnostic and calibration self-check test
and the default GUI appears as described in the Functional and Calibration Check. After successful completion of
the self-check test, the
A.T.S.
4000TS unit is ready for use.
2
Connect a dual port cuff to the unit at the Main Cuff or Second Cuff port connectors. The Main Cuff and Second
Cuff both have the ability to perform the LOP function.
3
Connect the LOP pulse sensor to the LOP socket in the rear of the
A.T.S.
4000TS.
4
Prepare patient according to guidelines in
Patient Preparation
above.
5
Attach the LOP pulse sensor to the patient’s index fi nger or second toe on the limb the Tourniquet cuff has been
applied to:
6
Ensure the sensor is fully engaged to achieve the best possible and most accurate reading.
CAUTION:
•
The LOP Pulse Sensor is applied to a fi nger or toe on the operative limb.
•
LOP determination temporarily infl ates then defl ates the Tourniquet cuff automatically to obtain the
patient’s LOP.
•
If the LOP determination is performed on the Main Cuff, all readings and recommendations are
for the Main Cuff only. If the LOP determination is performed on the Second Cuff, all readings and
recommendations are for the Second Cuff only.
