How to Add a Respiration Artifact to the BP
Waveform
When the dynamic parameter for a blood pressure channel
is set to a value other than off, the Product will let you
move the highlight to the artifact parameter. With the
highlight on the artifact value, push  or  to toggle the
value between on and off.
Each BP channel has a different range of pressure change
due to the respiration artifact.
Cardiac Output
The Cardiac Output function electronically simulates the
dynamic temperature changes of blood that is cooled by
an injectate.
Note
Cardiac output measurement devices that use the
Fick dye injection, Doppler ultrasonography, and
bioimpedance are not addressed or intended for
this Product.
Cardiac-Output Test Set Up
To simulate cardiac output with the Product, a CI-3
adapter is necessary to connect the monitor to the
Product. The adapter is shown in Figure 11. Note that the
injectate temperature thermistor has to be cut off at the
EUT cable to install the general-purpose connector.
This module has connections for the cardiac output
measurement under test and simulates the injectate
temperature (IT) thermistors at 0
° C or 24 ° C. Of the two
connectors on the CI-3 module/cable, the smaller 3-pin
connector is for catheter blood temperature (BT) and is
standard on most monitors.
Note
This 3-pin catheter BT connector is compatible
with the standard Baxter (Edwards) BT catheter
and equivalent catheters available from other
manufacturers such as Viggo-SpectraMed and
Abbott (Sorenson).
The larger 4-pin connector supplies the simulated injectate
temperature. The 10-turn 100 k
Ω potentiometer enables
adjustment of the injectate temperature to 0 ° C or 24 ° C.
The 4-pin IT thermistors connector is not standard on all
monitors. A general function connector that you can
connect to the device under test (DUT) injectate cable is
also available.
Note
A DUT cardiac output cable changed for this test
must not be used in clinical applications.
