Event or Problem Description
It was reported that, during use, the blood pressure (bp) readings obtained from an alta monitor was significantly inconsistent and not correlating with the non-invasive blood pressure cuff or invasive arterial line.Mean arterial pressure (map) values, systolic, and diastolic values were often vastly inaccurate, either much higher or lower.Per representative, "this discrepancy appears to resolve only when the patient monitor is zeroed before acumen iq finger cuff application." the following troubleshooting was completed: verified correct patient connection and proper cuff placement per ifu, reconnected finger cuff and restarted the monitor, compared acumen iq readings to nibp and/or a-line readings, and observed that zeroing the patient monitor prior to connecting improves correlation temporarily with the alta monitor.There were no allegations of patient injuries.
