Preparing to Monitor SvO2

In addition to an SvO2 module, you need a Hospira OptiCath catheter, and 50131 Optical Module. Use only the Hospira accessories listed in the Accessories section.

Connect the optical module (Hospira 50131) to the SvO2 module. Allow the optical module to warm up before you perform a calibration. Although the warm up message disappears from the screen after one minute, Hospira recommends letting the optical module warm up for 15 minutes for best accuracy. Please refer to the instructions for the optical module.

To avoid false alarms during the pre-insertion calibration and insertion of the catheter into the patient, the monitor automatically suspends alarms during the pre-insertion calibration, for up to three minutes after you remove the catheter tip from the optical reference. After light intensity calibration, or after three minutes (whichever comes first), the monitor returns to the alarm state it was in prior to pre- insertion calibration.

Carrying out a Pre-insertion Calibration

WARNING It is strongly recommended to carry out a pre-insertion calibration prior to all insertions. If this is not possible, you must perform an in-vivo calibration after insertion.

Refer to the instructions for use that accompany the catheter. Do not use the catheter if the packaging is damaged. If you have to disconnect the monitor from the patient (for example, when transferring the patient from one location to another), you must disconnect at the SvO2 module. The catheter should remain in the optical module, otherwise you need to recalibrate.

1Remove outer wrapping from catheter tray to uncover optical connector.

2Place the optical module on the catheter tray in the space provided and open the lid.
