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.
CAUTION: Flushing devices may be used to purge or flush the line during filling.
Continuous flushing devices are not to be used during intracranial pressure
monitoring.
I. Installation of Transducer Cable
Connect the reusable transducer cable to the patient connection on monitor.
II. Kit Setup
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 transducer by connecting the cable extension to the reusable cable as
shown in Appendix A. Check all fittings to ensure tight connection.
III. Purging air from the System
A. Remove white vented cap from side port of the 4-way stopcock.
B. Attach a syringe filled with sterile saline solution to the side port of the 4-way
stopcock.
C. Remove white vented cover from male port of transducer.
D. Slowly depress the syringe plunger and flush the transducer with sterile saline
solution until bubble free. Fill a yellow cover with fluid during flush and place it onto
male port of transducer. Turn the 4-way stopcock "off" to the transducer.
E. Remove the white vented cap from the side port of the zero reference (i.e. 3-way)
stopcock.
F. Slowly depress the syringe plunger and flush the side port of the 3-way stopcock
with sterile saline solution. When all air has been expelled turn the 3-way stopcock
handle "off" to its side port then place a yellow nonvented cap onto the side port of
the stopcock.
G. Remove the white vented cover from the distal end of the patient tubing.
H. Slowly depress the syringe plunger and fill the patient line with sterile saline solution
until the patient line is bubble free. Fill a yellow cover from spare parts bag with fluid
during flush and place it onto the end of patient tubing.
I. Turn the 4-way stopcock "off" to its side port. Disconnect the syringe and attach a
yellow nonvented cap onto the side port of the stopcock.
CAUTION: Make certain not to introduce air into pathway while connecting
caps and covers.
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 line 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.
J. A drainage device should be used with the kit to prevent contamination of the
system. This device may be attached to side port of 4-way stopcock.
IV. Zeroing, Leveling and Calibration
A. After the system has been primed and mounted, zero the transducer.
1. Turn 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 side port
should be at or near the pressure monitoring site.
2. Zero the transducer according to monitor manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: In order to assure accurate readings, the transducer should be
balanced a minimum of once every 8 hours during use.
3. Turn zero reference stopcock "off" to the side port. Replace nonvented cap.
4. Rezeroing of the transducer is required if the zero reference stopcock is moved
relative to the pressure monitoring site.
B. Transducers are precalibrated to industry standards. To verify monitor calibration,
follow monitor manufacturer calibration procedures. Do not apply pressure when
attached to a patient.
V. Connecting Monitoring System to Patient
A. Remove the yellow nonvented cover from the distal port of the patient tubing.
B. Connect patient line to catheter or bolt per manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: Once attached to the catheter or bolt, do not flush any fluid into the
patient. Doing so will raise the pressure.
VI. Checking for leaks
A. The system should be checked periodically for leaks.
VII. Indications and Contraindications
A. Indications
● Intracranial pressure monitoring
● Compartmental pressure monitoring
B. Contraindications
● Intracranial pressure monitoring with continuous flush device
● Compartmental pressure monitoring with continuous flush device
