17.5 Measurement Process

Measurement should be taken when the message "Ready for new measurement" appears on the
screen. Press the Start button, and then start injection. The thermodilution curve, current blood
temperature and the injectate temperature are displayed during the measurement. Curve drawing
will stop automatically when the measurement finishes, and the the C.O. and CI (
the above figure) will be calculated and displayed on the screen. The monitor will display C.O. in
the parameter area and the start measurement time (
To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, it is suggested that a reasonable interval should take
place between two consecutive measurements. The length of the interval can be set in the C.O.
Setup menu (Time unit: second). The interval time counter is displayed on the screen. The next
measurement can not be performed until the time reduces to zero and a message Ready for new
measurement appears.
NOTE:
1 It is strongly recommended that the user must push the injector within four seconds
after pressing the Start button.
2 It is strongly recommended that you wait at least 1 minute (or longer depending on the
patient's clinical condition) before starting the next measurement.
Repeat this procedure until you have completed the measurements you want.
You can perform a maximum of six measurement editing. If you perform additional
measurements the earliest measurement each time will be deleted. If any of the curves in the
editing window is not selected for calculation (excluded from the averaging calculations), the
place will be taken by the new measurement.

0~30s, 0~60s. If you start measurement in the 0~30s mode,
it will be switched to 0~60s mode automatically if the
measurement can not finish within 30 seconds. After the
switch, no further adjustment can be made to the Scale X.
