    Figure 26.  Enter Reference Cardiac Output to Set Baseline.

                   10.  Enter the reference cardiac output value and select OK.
                   Step 4: Take Reading
                   Once you are satisfied with the PA pressure baseline, take as many pressure measurements as desired. Establishing accurate
                   baseline PA pressure at the time of implant is important to ensure accurate PA pressure readings from home
                   1.   Select the Take Reading button to capture pressure measurements.
                   2.   The system will then prompt you to enter the comparative catheter pressure values for reference. Enter the catheter values and
                       select the OK button. The comparative pulmonary artery catheter pressure values are optional. They are used to visually check
                       that the PA pressure values have the proper baseline and amplitude.

                   3.   The captured reading is displayed graphically for confirmation. The colored horizontal lines indicate the entered catheter
                       pressure values entered as reference. The green line indicates systolic pressure, blue indicates mean pressure, and red
                       indicates diastolic pressure.

                                                                16
