High Level Monitor Connection
• ECG Source: MON
Connect a Phone to Phone cable from external monitor ECG out to IABP
Select an appropriate lead from bedside monitor
Bedside monitors have different signal output characteristics. A monitor with a delay of greater than
20 msec between the actual patient signal and the monitor output should not be utilized. It may result in
incorrect timing. If a pacer spike is to be used or rejected for triggering, ensure that the bedside monitor
outputs the pacer spike. Many monitors have pacer detection and output disabled in the default bedside
monitor. When in doubt, use direct signal connections from the patient to the AutoCAT
NOTE: Choose the ECG lead that provides the largest, clearest R wave.
4. Arterial Pressure Connection and Selection:
• Multiple Arterial pressure sources can be connected to the AutoCAT
systems. The AP SELECT key allows you to select the displayed AP source. The
LED will indicate which source is currently selected and displayed. The pre-set
start-up signal for AutoCAT

• Fiber Optic AP signal (FiberOptix
Connect FiberOptix
AP SELECT: Fiber Optic
• Arterial pressure transducer connected to orange AP input connector.
AP SELECT: Xducer
• Monitor connection using a Phone to Phone cable to the Phone jack AP input
connector
AP SELECT: MON
NOTE: If multiple arterial pressure sources are connected to the AutoCAT
may select the AP source to be displayed and used by the pump via the AP key.
To change AP SOURCE, press AP SELECT until LED next to desired selection is on.
This selection will be the source of the AP waveform displayed and used by the pump.
Instructions for calibration of transducers are contained in Chapter 7. You can also
modify the AP waveform display range, turn Autoscaling ON or OFF and set AP Alarm
using the AP Select function.
NOTE: If you are making the "high-level" connection, make sure the monitor's output is
compatible with the AutoCAT
have made a low-level input connection, you can also connect a Phone-to-Phone cable
from the AP output connection on the AutoCAT
if available.
