Match the catheter with the actual heart size, exclude individual segments 
and optimize the dual field setting. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rho cuvette is used to measure blood resistivity from a blood sample. Blood 

resistivity is required for the calibration of the volume measurements. The Rho 

cuvette is connected to the connector on the right side of the CFL-512. When 

the Rho cuvette is filled with 5 ml of blood the display will show the measured 

blood resistivity. By pressing the button next to the display this value is stored 

internally and used in the real-time volume calculation. 

 

 

 

Calibration of the volume signals from the conductance 

catheter is automatic. However, the 6 user defined signals 

connected to the external inputs, Pressure, ECG 2, Aux1, 

Aux2, Aux3 and Aux4 require initial calibration to enable the 

software to convert input signal voltages to user units (e.g. 

mmHg). 

Select display-mode and time-base for an optimal view of your chosen signals. 

View ‘Segmental Volumes’ to check and optimise the (segmental) volume 

signals. Use views with ‘PV-Loop’ to monitor the pressure-volume loops from 

beat to beat. Use views with ‘Indices’ to display real-time the calculated indices. 
Use ‘Dyssynchrony’ view to assess mechanical ventricular dyssynchrony. 

 

 

 

Start data acquisition by clicking ‘Acquire’. An audible signal every 1 s 

reminds the user that acquisition is in progress. Stop data acquisition by 

clicking acquire again. Enter a comment at the end of each acquisition run.
