Alarm
IBP1/IBP2 NO
Channel 1 or 2 transducer is not
SENSOR
connected.
This condition occurs when the
maximum and minimum values
of a pulsatile pressure signal
(Just for IBP, ART, PAP, RVP
and LVP labels) differ by less
than 3mmHg.In this case, only
Mean pressure is displayed in
IBP1/IBP2
this state.
This message can be caused by
STATIC
the following reason:
PRESSURE
● A physiological condition e.g.
asystole
● Transducer turned off to the
patient.
● A catheter tip lodged against a
vessel wall.
● A clot on the catheter tip.
The catheter is
disconnected from the
patient during the pressure
measurement (only IBP
IBP1/IBP2
and ART labels). In this
condition, the pressure
CATHETER
drops dramatically, IBP
DISCONNECT
signal becomes static and
the MEAN pressure falls
below 10 mmHg.
IBP ALARMS
Cause
Check the transducer
connection.
●Check patient and do
necessary treatment
●Turn on the stopcock
to patient and turn it off
to
pressure.
●Follow hospital
procedure for
dislodging catheter.
●Follow hospital
procedures for clotted
catheters.
● Check the
catheter connection
to the patient
and take necessary
medical actions.
●3-way stopcock is
disconnected from
the patient due to
zeroing, washing the
tubing or blood
sampling
