Procedure

  2. The Peripheral Pulse Probe is connected to the port at the Patient Table Interface module.
  3. To perform this test, place the probe on your fingertip.
  4. The Peripheral Pulse bar graph should display your pulse on the IRD monitor, as customized. If not, first ensure the probe is making contact with your fingertip. If the pulse is not displayed, then either the probe or the PAC hardware is failing.
