GE DASH 3000 V5 Quick Reference Manual page 99

Problem:
Why does the monitor continue to read INFLATE
BALLOON after the balloon has been inflated?
Answer:
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.
Intervention:
It would be recommended to complete a PA Wedge
utilizing the manual mode.
Invasive Pressures
Problem:
Why is the invasive waveform overshooting the scales?
Answer:
A new scale needs to be selected to accomodate the
change of the pressure reading. If Auto Scale was
previously selected, this would have used the current
waveform reading as a reference when this function was
requested. If the waveform readings have fluctuated, a
larger range scale or reselecting Auto Scale will reset the
scale for the current reading.
Problem:
When using a UAC, does it make a difference to label it
as an ART instead of UAC?
Answer:
No, it does not. But remember when looking up the
information under VITAL SIGNS or GRAPHIC
TRENDS, no data will be found under the displayed
label.
