Radial catheter mode
In the
Edit investigation protocol
window, you can select the catheter mode:
staggered/helix (default selected) or radial mode. When radial mode is
selected, on the
Test selection
tab, the resting pressure test, the squeeze
test, and the push test are combined in one sequence. When the rest,
squeeze, or push test is ended, the next test in the combined sequence will be
activated. When the centimeter marker is inserted during the subsequence,
the subsequence will start from the beginning. If you want to change the
catheter insertion depth during the investigation, you can use the
Go to x cm
button (puller) or the
Mark x cm
button (manual pull).
If you right-click this button, the x cm is reset to initial value (when a puller is
used), or the insertion depth is increased with 1 cm (when manual pull is
used).
When radial mode is selected, the software will ask if RAIR is present or
absent when inserting the RAIR end marker. In the results, this is shown in the
marker name, and it is added to the report. The balloon volume is shown in the
RAIR marker hint.
When the investigation has been performed and the analysis program is
started, the results are calculated on all channels.
