Zeroing the Pressure Transducer

If measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) with a sitting patient, level the transducer with the top of the 
patient’s ear. Incorrect leveling may give incorrect values.

Tell the monitor which pressure you want to monitor by selecting its pressure label. The label is a 
unique identifier for each type of pressure. When you chose a label, the monitor uses that label’s stored 
color, wave scale and alarm settings.

In the 

 <

menu, select 

.

Select the appropriate label from the list.

The following additional labels are available if 

 is set to 

. This setting can only be 

changed in Configuration Mode. 

Note that if your monitor is connected to an Information Center, the additional labels in the extended 
label set may not be correctly displayed. See the Configuration Guide for your monitor for more 
information. 

To avoid inaccurate pressure readings, the monitor requires a valid zero. Zero the transducer in 
accordance with your hospital policy (at least once per day). You must perform a zero: 

• when you use a new transducer or tubing

• every time you reconnect the transducer cable to the monitor

• if you think the monitor’s pressure readings are not correct.
