Setting the tcGas Barometric Pressure

16 Monitoring tcGas

Restarting the tcGas SiteTimer

To restart the site timer without recalibration (for example, after the site time has elapsed):

1In the Setup tcGas menu, select Site Time.

2Enter and confirm your desired time.

Disabling the tcGas Site Timer

Depending on your monitor’s configuration, you might be able to disable the site timer. Remember, this means that the transducer heats indefinitely while on a patient.

1In Setup tcGas menu, select Site Timer and switch this to Disabled.

2Select the Confirm popup key.

Setting the tcGas Barometric Pressure

Altitude and barometric pressure affect tcGas values. The monitor derives barometric pressure from its altitude setting. If you want to set the true barometric pressure you must do this before starting a calibration - changes after calibration do not influence tcGas values. The monitor remembers this pressure setting until you enter a new one.

1In the Setup tcGas menu, select AmbientPress.

2Enter the current barometric pressure reading indicated by your barometer.

3Select the Confirm popup key.

Remembraning the tcGas Transducer

CAUTION The tcGas transducer is thin and flexible. You must treat it with care. Avoid kinking, bending or pulling the cable.

Remembrane the transducer if the electrolyte in your transducer has dried out or:

•if the transducer is new

•if you are using the transducer with a new patient

•if the membranes are damaged (scratched or wrinkled)

•after five days of continued use or 28 days of storage.
