1 Insert a central venous catheter (CVC) into the patient.
2 Prepare a pressure monitoring kit for arterial pressure monitoring. Fill the transducer kit carefully using
the flush clip. Air bubbles in the pressure lines or in the transducer influence the transmission and can
cause measuring errors.
3 Insert an arterial thermodilution catheter into a suitable artery (femoral,brachial or axillary artery) of the
patient. Ensure that all air is evacuated from the blood pressure lumen.
4 Connect the pressure line of the monitoring kit to the lumen of the thermodilution catheter.
5 Fill the injectate temperature sensor housing, enclosed in the pressure monitoring kit and connect it to
the distal lumen of the central venous line.
6 Connect the p-CO thermistor cable to the p-CO intermediate cable.
7 Plug the p-CO intermediate cable into the port labeled "CO" on the PiCCO pod.
8 Connect the "Injectate temperature sensor housing" to the p-CO thermistor cable.
9 Slide the Arterial Pressure transducer into a slot on the front of the transducer plate located beneath
the PiCCO pod. Make sure the pressure label is ART on the monitor.
10 Slide the Central Venous Pressure transducer into a different slot. Make sure the pressure label is CVP
on the monitor.
11 Connect the PiCCO catheter with the blood pressure transducer.
12 Use the 10-pin cable to connect the blood pressure transducer to the Delta/Delta XL/Kappa Delta
series monitor.
13 If you have not already done so, enter the patient specific input parameters (height and weight) in the
Patient Admit menu.
14 A zero adjustment of the pressure transducer is now necessary. The following table outlines zeroing
procedures:
Single Transducer Zero
1. Make sure the transducer is at heart level. Dräger recommends securing the transducer holders on
the front of the PiCCO pod for proper height.
2. Close the transducer stopcock to the patient and open it to air.
3(a). Click on the parameter box associated with the
transducer you want to zero (ART, CVP, etc.). The
parameter setup menu appears.
NOTE: You can also access the parameter menu as
follows:
1) Press the Menu fixed key to display the main
menu.
2) Click on Patient Setup.
3) Click on Parameters.
4) Scroll to the desired pressure parameter and click.
4. Click on Zero.

Simultaneous "Smart Zero"
3(b). Press the
hemodynamic pod/MPod to zero all pressures
whose transducers are open to air.
WARNING: Do not use the "Smart Zero"
function if any pressure waveform is flat
(nearly static). Only use the "Smart Zero"
function when all the stopcocks are opened
to air.
NOTE: If you use this step, 3(b), and are
unable to zero a particular IBP with the
key, use the associated parameter box as
described in 3(a). This method can be more
effective.
