Thermodilution and Pulse Contour Analysis
Disposables:
(1) Arterial Thermodilution Catheter: PiCCO catheter
Insert thermodilution catheter according to instructions for use. Please ensure that the pressure lumen is
completely filled with liquid and that all air is evacuated prior to insertion.
(2) Arterial pressure transducer: PiCCO Monitoring kit
To be installed according to instructions for use. Any other components (e.g. extensions or 3-way-stopcock)
should not be added. Please ensure that the system is completely filled with liquid and that all air is evacuated
prior to connection to the patient.
(3) Standard CVC
To be installed according to instructions for use.
(4) Injectate temperature sensor housing PV4046, included in PiCCO Monitoring Kit
Connection to distal (preferred) lumen of the central venous catheter (CVC) by means of a 3-way-stopcock (if
a CeVOX probe is applied please refer to chapter 3.2.3). Do not measure the central venous pressure (CVP)
through the sensor housing and/or do not apply glucose or lipid containing substances by the sensor housing.
Before installation air must be completely removed from all components.
(5) Central venous pressure transducer (optional)
In order to ensure transmission of the CVP install 3-way-stopcock in front of the injectate temperature sensor
housing. Please ensure that the system is completely filled with liquid and that all air is evacuated prior to
connection to the patient.
WARNING:
The PiCCO catheter must not be advanced into the aorta.
