nameConnect dongle

Connect the receiver/dongle ( 1 ) to the invasive pressure input on the patient monitor ( 2 ) and make sure that if required the USB power source is also connected ( 3 ).

Info

ATTENTION - The dongle requires a minimum power supply of 5V. Typically this is supplied through the ABP plug. When this is not available a charging cable connected to the dongle ( 3 ) is required. The required cable is a Micro-Usb on the dongle’s side and normal Type A USB on the monitor side.

Step 3 - Initiate dongle-sensor pairing

To start the pairing process, press the interface button on the BcAc-DG-1000 dongle ( 1 ), and make sure that the receiver LED flashes pulsing blue. Then press Turn on the sensor interface pressing the power button ( 2 ) and verify that the LED also is flashing pulsing blue.

Step 4 - Verify matching devices

...

The pairing is completed by pressing the dongle button on one of the devices (button Button 1 or button 2 in Figure 6.8-2above). When this is done, the matching lights will flash green three times, informing a successful pairing. If you do not want to complete pairing, wait a few seconds for both devices to go into standby mode.

Step 6 - Verify waveform in patient monitor

With When pairing is complete, the sensor waveform should appear on the multiparameter multi-parameter monitor. For best viewing, set the patient monitor to automatic scaling. If the signal is not found on the multiparameter multi-parameter monitor, turn off the sensor, unplug the receiver, and return to step 1.

Warning

WARNING - Do NOT attempt to calibrate BcSs-PICNIW-1000 2000 Sensor with your patient monitor. This may result in display of a misleading ICP value shown in the patient monitor that can be misinterpreted when making critical clinical decisions.

Warning

WARNING - Make sure NO ICP value is shown in your patient monitor when the BcSs-PICNIW-1000 2000 Sensor is connected. Make sure that the default question marks (? /?) or dashes (- / -) are shown instead.

Info

ATTENTION - Only use with a compatible monitors and DO NOT calibrate the ICP value (mmHg)

Excerpt
namesignal on patient monitor

After correctly placing the sensor on the patient’s head and pairing with the dongle the waveform should appear on the patient monitor. Good positioning of the headband and proper placement of the sensor will result in typical waveform. Note: the figure is simply an illustration of a sample waveform.

Info

ATTENTION - The waveforms acquired from non-invasive ICP method do NOT represent actual mmHg values on the patient monitor scale.

If the signals shown on the monitor do not present any of the characteristics seen in the depiction above (the signal should at least present identifiable P1 and P2 peaks), modify the position of the sensor on the patient’s head by shifting and/or tightening/ loosening the headband until a satisfactory pulse waveform is obtained.

An example of a poor reading is depicted on the figure to the left.

Info

ATTENTION - Trained Personnel are expected to recognize proper waveform quality.

Warning

WARNING - Do NOT attempt to calibrate BcSs-PICNIW-1000 2000 Sensor with your patient monitor. This may result in display of a misleading ICP value shown in the patient monitor that can be misinterpreted when making critical clinical decisions.
