Display Detail
The CO key is displayed once you connect the CO cable to the module. To
display the CO main menu, touch the CO key and curves will appear as the
system detects the flow for each injection. The message INJECT WHEN READY
is displayed when the system is ready to plot a new output curve.
Figure 19-2 illustrates the cardiac output display when curves are being acquired,
on a bedside monitor.
