Preparing To Take Measurements; Setting Up The Equipment; Turning On The Monitor; Selecting A Transducer - ZOLL M Series Manual

Preparing to Take Measurements

The IBP option has two Pressure channels (P1 and P2). Either channel may be used for any type of
pressure measurement (arterial, pulmonary arterial, central venous, or intracranial). Each channel has
its own connector, cabling, and transducer. For each channel used you must connect the cabling and
transducer to the M Series unit, and zero a transducer before you take a measurement.

Setting Up the Equipment

Turning on the monitor

To turn on the monitor:
• Turn the selector switch to MONITOR (ON for AED units).

Selecting a transducer

Use only disposable or reusable transducers with 5uV/V/mmHg sensitivity. See "Ordering
Accessories" on page 16 for a list of ZOLL-approved transducers.
WARNING! The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those

Connecting the transducer to the unit

To connect the transducer to the M Series unit:
1. Inspect the transducer and the cable for wear, breakage or fraying. Replace cable or transducer
if necessary.
2. Connect the transducer to the IBP interface cable, if applicable.
3. Connect the IBP cable to the IBP connector on the front panel of the M Series unit (see Fig. 1).
