Note that some vital signs monitors filter and average the end tidal CO
2
value, and there may be a
several second delay for the reading to change. Additionally, small CO
2
set values may be difficult to
read on the monitor. A useful feature, available in some patient vital signs monitors, is to "freeze" the
waveform and investigate it more closely (refer to the vital signs monitor documentation for additional
information).
Repeat for all calibration points. Once completed, the calibration data will automatically be
stored/retrieved on the VitalsBridge.
Zeroing the Invasive Blood Pressure(s)
IBPs may be zeroed by setting the blood pressure waveform to “Flat Line” in the Instructor Application
for SimMan 3G. Refer to your patient monitor's documentation for procedures of zeroing the pressures
within the monitor's user interface. Once the pressures are zeroed on the monitor, deselect and apply
the “Flat Line” setting in the Instructor Application to allow the waveforms to reappear. If the blood
pressure readings differ significantly from the values set in the Instructor Application, then attempt to
re-zero.
