Applying the tcGas Transducer
1 Peel protection film from fixation ring. Using a finger, press the sticky side of the ring on to clean,
dry skin. Press around the outside to ensure a good seal. Apply three to five drops of contact fluid
in the ring’s center. Remove transducer from chamber.
2 Align the arrow on the transducer with the tab on the ring and fasten by turning turn a quarter-
turn clockwise. Wait 10-20 minutes for readings to stabilize.
3 Apply the transducer as soon as possible after you see the “...calibration complete” message. If you
wait longer than 30 minutes, the heat supply to the transducer switches off to prevent the
electrolyte from drying out and a new calibration is necessary.
Optimize the measurement by selecting a site with high capillary density and blood flow, thin
epidermis and no cardiovascular disorders. Most physicians use the abdomen, chest and back.
WARNING You must either remove the transducer before defibrillating, or remembrane and calibrate the
transducer after defibrillating.
CAUTION To avoid transducer damage, remove it from the patient during high frequency surgical procedures.
