As per title of this thread - Cardiac output (apologies for using the term CO - and not including the "full stops" between).
My understanding is, if the Cardiac Output test simulator is set to 5LPM - for example, then the Cardiac monitor should display this value too - within tolerances (Just like testing an SPO2 monitor - test kit set to 97%, monitor should display the same). The reality is I shouldn't need to ask this question, but the equipment manufacturer are telling me it doesn't matter what value their Cardiac output monitor gives when using a test simulator, just as long as a Cardiac output waveform is displayed - which I strongly disagree with. I just want to ask others on here if they agree with me, and confirm I'm correct to keep hounding the manufacturers of this particular Cardiac Output monitoring to change their testing guidelines.
