Applying the tcGas Transducer

1Peel 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.

2Align 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.

3Apply 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.
