Zeroing a High Level Monitor Signal
If the transducer is connected to a bedside monitor with a compatible output and slaved
via a Phone to Phone cable to the AutoCAT
calibrate the signal. However, in some cases the monitor output may not be exactly
100mmHg/V. In this case it is possible to zero the monitor AP signal and the pump at the
same time to make the AP signal zero electrically equivalent.
NOTE: The numerical values on the bedside monitor and IABP system may not be the
same. This can be due to the difference in pressure calculation methods or incompatible
output from the bedside monitor. Check the bedside monitors output specifications to
determine signal compatibility.
Zeroing an AP MON Input
• Open the transducer that is connected to the monitor to air
• Verify AP MON is selected. If not, use the AP SELECT key until the LED
next to MON is lit.
• Press ZERO key at the monitor
• Verify the monitor is zeroed
• Press MON ZERO on the IABP console
• Verify the message "MON ZEROED" appears on the display
• Verify the numerical pressure values read "0"
NOTE: The MON CAL function has been removed.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the heparinized fluid source to the constant flush unit.
All pressure tubing, stopcocks and connections must be filled completely with fluid and be free from air
