SETUP FOR CLINICAL USE
Figure 15: Zeroing Process Start
Figure 16: Zeroing Process Not Available
d
When sensor zeroing has been successful, the date and time will be displayed on the screen (see Figure 17).
Figure 17: Zeroing Process Successful
To confirm the Mean ICP value is zero, return to the ICP Waveform Screen (see Figure 4). If necessary, repeat the zeroing
e
steps.
f
While maintaining sterile technique, disconnect the ICP Sensor from the ICP Extension Cable before implantation and
after zeroing. Follow the implantation steps listed in the Instructions for Use packaged with the ICP Sensor.
Reconnecting an ICP Sensor after Implantation
5
After the ICP Sensor has been zeroed and surgically implanted, reconnect sensor to the ICP Extension Cable on the side of the ICP
Monitor.
NOTE: The sensor can be reconnected to any CereLink ICP Monitor. It is not required to use the same monitor used for the zeroing
process. Historic trend data will not be transferred if the sensor is connected to a new CereLink device.
Existing Sensor Data
Data from two different sensors cannot be stored on the same monitor. Prior sensor data MUST be deleted before using a new sensor.
When a new ICP Sensor is detected, the device will:
1. Confirm deletion of data.
OR
2. Recommend disconnecting sensor to prevent data loss.
NOTE: If the sensor is disconnected, monitoring will NOT resume until the previous sensor is reconnected, or the stored data is
downloaded through the USB (see Data Download section).
a
Prepare to zero the device by laying the tip of the ICP Sensor flat
in a shallow pool of sterile water or sterile saline.
b
Access the sensor zeroing menu by selecting the Home button
from any of the main screens and then the Zero Sensor option.
c
While keeping the tip of the ICP Sensor flat and still in the sterile water
or sterile saline, press the zero button on the ICP Monitor screen.
NOTE: The device is equipped with an algorithm that will detect when
the sensor is ready to be zeroed (see Figure 16).
• Zero button will NOT be available if sensor is moving.
• Zero button will NOT be available if sensor is already implanted.
