Pressure Monitoring
4. Attach pressure transducer to perfusion circuit.
Note: The pressure transducer, and if used, pressure dome, must be located at
the correct elevation recommended by the manufacturer in order to obtain the
correct pressure reading. Use a pressure line isolator if erratic displays occur
during continuous flow because of the particular setup.

To change the limits for the current case only:
1. Select the Pressures subtab within the Safety tab at the bottom of the CCM or
touch the Pressure icon.
2. Ensure the correct device name appears on the device name button.
3. To change the alert or alarm limit, touch the Alert or Alarm button. The
background of the button will turn white.
4. Use the increase/decrease arrows to adjust the limit.
5. Touch the Alert or Alarm button again to store the new limit.
6. Close the Safety Screen by touching the Close button on the right side of the
screen.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each pressure transducer.
The system maintains a 10 mmHg minimum difference between the pressure alert
and pressure alarm limits to ensure that the alert limit is always less than the alarm
limit. Scrolling an alarm setting into an alert setting or vice versa, will cause the value
to blink when the button is pressed.
To disable the alarm limit, set the value higher than 900 mmHg or lower than -250
mmHg. The alarm button will display " *** " when disabled. Any active physiological
alarm will clear when the alarm is disabled. The alert limit cannot be disabled.
Changes made to alert and alarm limits are only retained during the current perfusion
case. The values will revert to the values set during configuration when the case is
exited.
