 Every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor;
 If you think the monitor’s pressure readings are not correct.
When using a pressure module, the zero information is stored in the module.
The zeroing procedure is listed as below:
1. Turn off the stopcock to the patient.
2. Vent the transducer to atmospheric pressure, to compensate for the static and atmospheric
pressure exerted on the transducer.
3. In the setup menu for the pressure, select Zero. Channel: XX or Zero All. (XX stands for
the IBP label name). After confirmation, the user can zero the pressure of certain channel or
pressure of all channels. After zeroing, the interface displays the result and last calibration
time.
4. When you see the message Zero Ok, please close the stopcock to atmospheric pressure, and
open the stopcock to the patient.
15.3.3 Troubleshooting the Pressure Zeroing (Taking Art for Example)
The status message lists the probable cause of an unsuccessful calibration.
Message
Corrective Action
Art ZERO FAIL
Make sure that the transducer is not attached to the patient.
Art SENSOR OFF, FAIL
Make sure that transducer is not off, and then proceed
zeroing.
IN DEMO, FAIL
Make sure that the monitor is not in DEMO mode. Contact
service technician if necessary.
PRESSURE OVER RANGE,
FAIL
Make sure that the stopcock is vented to atmosphere. If the
problem persists, please contact service technician.
PULSATILE PRESSURE
ZERO FAIL
Make sure that the transducer is vented to air, not connected
to a patient, and try again.
15.3.4 IBP Calibration
IBP is not user-calibrated. Calibration should be performed by a qualified service professional as
frequently as dictated by your Hospital Procedures Policy.
15.4 Changing the IBP Waveform Ruler
The top, middle and bottom rulers are available for each channel of IBP waveform. Users can
adjust the top, middle or bottom rulers manually:
1. Open the menu Wave Setup of IBP by clicking on the IBP waveform area.
2. Select a suitable ruler from the options TopRuler, MidRuler and BotRuler.
