○ If current system pressure is same or higher than
original baseline, pressure baseline does not change.
○ If current system pressure is less than original baseline,
system automatically resets to new system pressure
value.
• The pressure measurement can be optimized, particularly

• Prior to activation, ensure that pressure has not built up in
the line due to an occlusion or flow from other

instruments through a common catheter. This results in a
more accurate pressure measurement.

• When multiple instruments are infusing through a common
small diameter catheter, pressure measurement accuracy
can be optimized by temporarily stopping all infusions, and
then restarting all instruments beginning with the instrument
delivering at the lowest rate.
