2. Check that the monitor recognizes cable connections (activates the display) for all
the pressure channels used and the pressure values and appropriate waveforms
are displayed.

Invasive pressure measurement on the monitor screen

The invasive pressure channel labels are as follows. "X" indicates the channel number,
for example, Art 2. Throughout this document, when an invasive pressure label is
followed by an "X", the "X" represents the channel number.
With the exception of PA, more than one channel can have the same channel label, for
example, Art 1 and Art 2. Only one channel can be labeled PA.

Using the invasive pressure measurement

Invasive pressure analog output

CARESCAPE ONE sets the first available arterial channel (Art X, FemX, UAC X) for
invasive pressure analog output.
If there are no arterial channels available, the first zeroed channel will be used.
●
If there are no zeroed channels available, a flat line will be the output of the IP
●
Analog output channel.

About zeroing the invasive pressure transducers

Prior to monitoring, zero transducers at the patient's phlebostatic axis. Zeroing the
●
pressure transducers is very important for accurate pressure measurements. To
avoid inaccurate measurements, you must zero the pressure transducers:
Before measuring invasive pressures.
￭
Before initiating treatment changes reliant upon pressures data.
￭
When using a new transducer or tubing.
￭
After reconnecting the transducer cable to the CARESCAPE Pressure.
