Function
NOTE
Only available in the CARDIAC software package with
ART and FEM parameter sites.
NOTE
Not available when in the NEONATAL-ICU patient-
monitor type.
NOTE
The maximum ECG analog output delay specification
with diagnostic ECG filter is less than 35 milliseconds.
Turn the feature on or off. Measures the arterial (ART)
pressure site and displays both pressure waveforms and
numerical pressure values. It compensates for irregularities
in the pressure waveforms caused by the use of an intra-
aortic balloon pump.
NOTE
Only available with ART and FEM parameter sites.
NOTE
Not available when in the NEONATAL-ICU patient-
monitor type.
Turn the feature on or off. This is an arterial (ART) artifact
rejection program that substantially reduces alarms
associated with zeroing the transducer, fast flushing the
system and drawing blood.
NOTE
Only available with ART and FEM parameter sites.
Turn the feature on or off. This detects potential catheter
disconnections. When on, if the mean pressure falls below
25 mmHg, a Warning patient status alarm sounds and the
message "DISCONNECT" displays in the parameter
window.
NOTE
Only available with ART, FEM and UAC parameter
sites.
Turn the feature on or off to display pulse rate values in the
parameter window.
NOTE
Only available with PA parameter site and in the
CARDIO-PULMONARY software package.
Make a PA wedge measurement to emphasize the PA
waveform. For more information, refer to
