7-4 Methodology and Monitoring

Apply the Pressure Controller

The Pressure Controller is worn on the patient's wrist and
connects to the Pump-Unit, HRS and ClearSight Finger
Cuff(s). See Figure 7-2, "EV1000 Noninvasive System
Connections," on page 7-3.
1 Wrap the Pressure Controller band around the patient's
wrist. The non dominant hand is preferred for monitoring
in awake patients. (Figure 7-2 , top right)
2 Snap the Pressure Controller into the plastic sleeve of the
band, making sure that the cuff connectors are facing
towards the fingers.
3 Attach the Pressure Controller cable to the Pump-Unit.
WARNING
Do not overtighten the Pressure Controller Band or
ClearSight Finger Cuff(s).

Select ClearSight Finger Cuff Size

CAUTION
Improper ClearSight Finger Cuff placement or sizing can
lead to inaccurate monitoring.
1 Size the finger(s) that will be used for monitoring by using
the ClearSight Finger Cuff sizing aid. Best results are
obtained from the middle, ring or index finger. The cuff is
not intended to be placed on the thumb or previously
fractured fingers.
2 Wrap the sizing aid around the middle phalanx of the
finger by pulling the color coded smaller end through the
slot to create a snug fit.

Apply the ClearSight Finger Cuff

For instructions 1-3 below, see corresponding numbers in
Figure 7-4, "ClearSight Finger Cuff Placement," on page 7-
4.
1 Place the middle phalanx of the finger onto the cuff with
the cuff cable guided between the fingers to the back side
of the hand. The cuff must be lined up between the two
knuckles.
2 Line the finger up between the two green lines on the cuff.
3 Tightly wrap the cuff around the finger and ensure that the
correct size cuff has been chosen by checking that the
outer edge lines up within the green area of the cuff when
wrapped tightly. See image in left inset of Figure 7-4 .
