Setting up RH C.O. Measurements
1 Set up the PA line using a PA catheter.
2 Attach the injectate temperature probe housing to the PA line.
3 Plug the C.O. interface cable into the C.O. module or measurement extension module and connect
the following devices into the C.O. interface cable:
injectate temperature probe
remote start switch (if used).
Follow your hospital standards to avoid unintentional extraction of the C.O. catheter. Secure the
cable using the mounting clip shipped with each C.O. interface cable. You may also find it helpful
to loop the C.O. interface cable, tape the loop, and attach it to the undersheet of the patient's bed
using a safety pin.
4 Plug the thermistor connection cable of the PA catheter into the thermistor connector.
5 Connect the injectate temperature probe to the injectate temperature probe housing.
6 Check that the correct measurement method is selected.
If a catheter is already connected to the Cardiac Output Interface Cable, the monitor automatically
recognizes the method used. If not, in the
Setup C.O. menu, select Method and then select Right
Heart.
