Instructions for use: Ikus - Berlin Heart

Fundamentals of the monitoring program
Instructions for use: Ikus
Cautionary measure
• For the safety of your patient, log off the monitoring program before you leave the system.
5.2.4 Normal view of monitoring program
Normal view of the monitoring program during the start test
[A]: Parameter table: The currently set parameters are displayed and can be changed.
[B] Pressure graphs: Graphical illustration of the pressures reached in the pneumatic
system in question.
[C]: Message window: Information about the status of the system (e.g. test operation) and
messages (error messages and cancellation messages; see Section 11 “Error messages
and corrective action” on page 63).
Functions of the monitoring program
• Supervise and control the system
• If necessary: Adjust the parameters
• systolic pressure
• diastolic pressure
• Rate
• relative systolic duration
• biventricular: Operating mode (synchronous mode; asynchronous mode;
separate pulse left/right)
• Inspect messages
• Acknowledge messages
Note
• The displayed pressure graphs relate to the pneumatic pressures generated internally in
the system and correspond to millimeters of mercury [mmHg]. They do not show the
blood pressure of the patient and cannot take the place of diagnostic steps performed
by the medical personnel.
• The monitoring program contains two other views. However, these views only appear on
starting the Ikus or can be brought up via the option “Drive pause” (see page 27/
page 32):
• “Operating mode” view
• “Pump size and single-step mode” view
