ICP EXPRESS Cable
®
Description
The ICP EXPRESS Cable (catalog no. 82-6636) is intended
®
for use as a connecting cable between the CODMAN
MICROSENSOR ICP Transducer (catalog nos. 82-6631, 82-6632
®
and 82-6633) and the CODMAN ICP EXPRESS Monitor (catalog
no. 82-6634 or 82-6635). The ICP EXPRESS Cable is reusable and
is supplied non-sterile. The ICP EXPRESS Cable is compatible
with ethylene oxide (EtO) gas only.
The ICP EXPRESS Cable has a non-volatile memory element
(EEPROM) embedded in-line that stores the transducer zero
reference value of any attached MicroSensor™. The ICP EXPRESS
Monitor automatically stores the zero reference value in the cable
after the transducer zeroing process is complete. By storing the
transducer zero reference value in the cable, the user will not
have to manually adjust the offset if the patient is moved to another
monitor or to another ICP EXPRESS Monitor unit, as long as the
original ICP EXPRESS Cable is retained with the equipment in use.
If the original ICP EXPRESS cable is not retained when switching
to new equipment, the user will be required to manually adjust the
stored zero reference value via the manual zero referencing function
of the ICP EXPRESS Monitor.
The ICP EXPRESS Monitor will erase the previously stored zero
reference value and store a new value in the ICP EXPRESS Cable
whenever a new MicroSensor is zeroed, or when the user chooses
to adjust the zero reference manually. The memory element in the
cable is designed to perform over one million erase/write cycles
and will retain data for several years.
CAUTIONS
Use only the ICP EXPRESS Cable to connect the MicroSensor
to the ICP EXPRESS Monitor.
DO NOT AUTOCLAVE the ICP EXPRESS Cable. Sterilize the
ICP EXPRESS Cable using ethylene oxide (EtO) gas only.
DO NOT immerse the ICP EXPRESS Cable in any liquid, or
allow liquid to enter the plug or connectors. Do not use cable
if connectors become wet. Erratic results may occur.
Verify cable integrity prior to use. Do not use any cable that
fails to meet the pin-to-pin resistance or electrical leakage
specifications.
Discontinue use of any ICP EXPRESS Cable that continues to
yield a "-99" transducer zero reference value (as displayed on
the ICP EXPRESS Monitor display) during manual zeroing or
zero reference verification procedures.
