Disposable Pressure
Transducer Monitoring Kit
Instructions for Use
CAUTION: Care must be taken to keep electrical connections on the
cable extension dry and fluids from entering the atmospheric vent on
the transducer or erratic readings may result.
NOTE: These instructions are for setting up a typical monitoring system. Exact
components and set-up procedure used in your kit may vary, depending on the
kit's design. For components added to the monitoring system, refer to applicable
manufacturer's instructions for set up and use.
I. Installation of Transducer Cable
Connect the transducer cable to the patient connection on monitor.
II. Kit Set Up
A. Set up the disposable transducer monitoring system using aseptic technique.
1. Open package containing the sterile disposable transducer monitoring kit.
2. Remove transducer monitoring kit assembly from package.
3. Attach additional monitoring components as desired.
4. Check all fittings to ensure tight connections.
5. Attach the reusable cable to the transducer.
B. Preparing Solution.
1. Assemble pump administration set appropriate for the infusion pump that is to be
used.
2. If using heparin, add prior to air removal.
CAUTION: If an air-free solution source is not used (i.e., air is not extracted
from the fluid source), air may be forced into the monitoring line when
solution is exhausted.
3. Attach tubing to solution container and prime the tubing following pump
manufacturer's instructions.
C. Connecting Kit to Infusion Pump.
1. Remove vented cap from the female port of flush device and connect flush device
fluid line to distal connector of infusion pump administration set.
CAUTION: In this application, the flush device is not intended to control
flow rate. Flow rate must be controlled by an infusion pump. Do not use with
pressure administration cuff.
III. Purging Air From Monitoring Line
A. Remove the vented cap from the stopcocks and the vented cover from the patient
connector (distal stopcock).
B. Adjust the pump delivery regulator to a fluid flow rate sufficient to flush solution
through the system.
C. Carefully fill fluid lines of the monitoring kit with I.V. solution until all air has been
removed from the system. Activate flush device to facilitate filling and to remove air
from flush device. Turn stopcock handles as applicable to prime through side ports
of stopcocks. Nonvented caps and covers are provided in the spare parts bag to
replace vented caps and covers as required.
NOTE: Take special care to ensure no air is trapped in any components of the
fluid pathway. The monitoring system must be totally air-free for maximum
performance, i.e., optimal dynamic response.
CAUTION: Pulling a vacuum to purge bubbles from the lines is not
recommended. This practice may entrain air or release air from solution. If
the line is primed in a forward manner under pressure, care must be taken
to assure the maximum pressure specifications for the transducer are not
exceeded.
IV. Zeroing, Leveling and Calibration
A. After the system has been primed and mounted, zero the transducer.
1. Turn the zero reference stopcock "off" to the patient and remove nonvented cap
from the side port which opens the zero reference stopcock to air.
NOTE: The air-fluid interface of the zero reference stopcock should be at or
near the right atrial (mid-axillary) level.
2. Zero the transducer according to monitor manufacturer's instructions.
3. Turn the zero reference stopcock "off" to the side port and replace nonvented cap.
—or—
1. Attach desired catheter to distal end of monitoring kit and prime, purging all air
bubbles from catheter.
2. Open stopcock(s) to the catheter. (The catheter tip is now the system air-fluid
interface.)
3. Place transducer in the position (horizontal plane) it will maintain during pressure
measurement.
4. Place the catheter tip at the right atrial (mid-axillary) level.
5. Zero the transducer according to monitor manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: As long as relative level between catheter tip and transducer are
maintained, zero leveling will be appropriate. Any significant change in relative
level necessitates re-zeroing.
B. Transducers are precalibrated to industry standards. To verify monitor calibration,
follow monitor manufacturer's calibration procedures. Do not apply pressure when
connected to a patient.
V. Connecting Monitoring System to Patient
CAUTION: If using a squeeze flush device, patient mounting is not recommended
with the flush clip attached to the device as it may result in inadvertent activation
of the fast flush mechanism by patient movement. If patient mounting is desired,
the flush clip must be removed.
A. Remove nonvented cover at patient connector.
B. Set the infusion pump to deliver the desired flow rate. Continuous low flow flush
should be observed at the patient connector and drip chamber (if provided) at this
time.
CAUTION: Kits with a 30 mL per hour flush device are not intended to control
flow rate. Flow rate must be controlled by an infusion pump. Do not use with
pressure administration cuff.
