Follow sterile procedures.
1.
Turn unit on. “__ __” is displayed for five seconds and then
disappears. The device is now ready for use. If “__ __” is
displayed continuously, see Troubleshooting.
2.
Remove contents of disposable pouch.
3.
Place needle firmly on tapered chamber stem.
4.
Remove cap on pre-filled syringe and screw the syringe onto
remaining chamber stem. Be careful not to contaminate the
fluid pathway.
5.
Open cover of monitor and inspect transducer port for damage
or contamination. If damaged, do not use and return to C2DX.
Remove all contamination with a soft damp cloth. Place
chamber in well (black surface down) and gently push until
disposable seats.
6.
Snap cover closed.
DO NOT FORCE.
Make sure latch has
snapped.
NOTE: If the cover will not close, rotate the syrings so that a straight
side of the flange rests against the base of the monitor. This will
reduce the height of the flange to allow the cover to close.
QUICK PRESSURE MONITOR SET INSTRUCTIONS
7.
Hold the needle approximately 45° up from horizontal. Slowly
force fluid through the disposable to purge it of air.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow saline to roll down into the transducer
well.
8.
Approximate the intended angle of the insertion of the needle
into the skin. To insure accuracy the display must read -8 to
+9mm/Hg. Press the “ZERO” button. The display will read “00”
after approximately 2 seconds.
NOTE: Display must read “00” before continuing. If it does not,
please see troubleshooting.
9.
Insert needle into body. Slowly inject less than 3/10 cc of saline
into the compartment to equillibrate with interstitial fluids.
Wait for the display to reach equillibrium.
Read pressure.
For additional measurements, repeat steps 8-11. Make sure unit
is reset to zero.
WARNING: Device must be at correct angle of
insertion before the “ZERO” button is pressed
to insure accuracy.
WARNING: DO NOT use pressure readings when
display indicates low batter. Replace battery
and repeat steps to obtain pressure reading.
