12Monitoring Invasive Pressure
You can measure pressure using the Multi-Measurement Server (MMS), one of the measurement
server extensions or the pressure plug-in module.
Setting up the Pressure Measurement
1 Plug in the pressure cable.
2 Prepare the flush solution.
3 Flush the system to exhaust all air from the tubing. Ensure that the transducer and stopcocks are
free of air bubbles.
WARNING If air bubbles appear in the tubing system, flush the system with the infusion solution again. Air
bubbles may lead to a wrong pressure reading.
4 Connect the pressure line to the patient catheter.
5 If you are using an infusion pressure cuff with the pressure line, attach the pressure cuff to the fluid
to be infused. Inflate it according to your standard hospital procedure, then start the infusion.
6 Position the transducer so that it is level with the heart, approximately at the level of the
midaxillary line.
