Pa - GE DASH 3000 V5 Quick Reference Manual

PA

PA Insert/Wedge is a feature
found in the PA Invasive
Pressures Menu. There are two
modes for doing a PA Wedge
measurement: Auto and
Manual.
The Auto Mode allows a PA
Wedge measurement to be
performed without having to
touch the monitor after
starting the program. The
Manual Mode defaults when
the PA Insert/Wedge menu
option is selected.
NOTE: The monitor must detect a 30% change in the
waveform to measure a wedge. If the waveform does not
change accordingly, the Wedge Processing message will not
appear and you must use the manual mode for wedge
measurements.
