The current assisted FOS MAP is displayed above the < and > keys while pumping and
the unassisted MAP will be used when the pump is OFF. The < and > keys change the
current MAP value by 5 mmHg for each key press. The clinician should use another AP
signal that is known to be accurate and adjust the AP FOS MAP to match that AP MAP
value.
Verify that the AP MAP value that is used to calibrate the AP FOS MAP is zeroed and calibrated.
The AP source should be verified for accuracy as well.
Zeroing and Calibrating a Transducer or Monitor Input
The Zero and Calibration functions of the AutoCat 2 series IABP have been simplified.
Use the following procedure to Zero and/or calibrate a Transducer or MON input signal.
Zeroing an AP Transducer
• Open the transducer to air
• Verify AP TRANSDUCER is selected. If not, use the AP SELECT key until the
LED next to XDUCER is lit.
• Press XDUCER ZERO key
• Verify the message "TRANDUCER ZEROED" appears on the display
• Verify the numerical pressure values read "0"
