ZOLL M Series Invasive Blood Pressure
Preparing to Take Measurements
The IBP option has two Pressure channels (P1 and P2). Either channel may be used for any type of
pressure measurement (arterial, pulmonary arterial, central venous, or intracranial). Each channel has
its own connector, cabling, and transducer. For each channel used you must connect the cabling and
transducer to the M Series unit, and zero a transducer before you take a measurement.
Setting Up the Equipment
Turning on the monitor
To turn on the monitor:
•
Turn the selector switch to
MONITOR
(
ON
for AED units).
Selecting a transducer
Use only disposable or reusable transducers with 5uV/V/mmHg sensitivity. See "Ordering
Accessories" on page 16 for a list of ZOLL-approved transducers.
WARNING!
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those
specified by ZOLL may result in increased emissions or decreased
immunity of the M Series.
Connecting the transducer to the unit
To connect the transducer to the M Series unit:
1. Inspect the transducer and the cable for wear, breakage or fraying. Replace cable or transducer
if necessary.
2. Connect the transducer to the IBP interface cable, if applicable.
3. Connect the IBP cable to the IBP connector on the front panel of the M Series unit (see Fig. 1).
