TCM400 operator's manual
Name, intended use and limitations Proprietary name
TCM400 Transcutaneous pO2 Monitoring System.
Common name
Multichannel tcpO2 monitor or TCM400 system.
TCM4 Series monitors
The TCM400 system is part of the TCM4 Series monitoring system.
Reference
This operator’s manual for the TCM400 Transcutaneous pO2 Monitoring System is intended for use as a reference. It provides detailed operating instructions and answers to relevant questions about your transcutaneous system.
All rights reserved
At the time of printing, the operator’s manual is in conformity with the system. All rights are reserved for instruments, circuits, techniques and names appearing in the manual.
Intended use
The TCM400 system is a device that uses up to six non-invasive sensors placed on the patient's skin and that is intended to record transcutaneous oxygen partial pressures in adults not under gas anesthesia. Do not use the TCM400 system in intensive care (ICU, NICU, etc.) for unattended patient monitoring, as the system has no alarms.
Measuring range
Transcutaneous measurements of tcpO2 can be performed at levels from 0 to 2000 mmHg (0 to 266.7 kPa).
Operator profile Only trained health care personnel are permitted to use the monitor. Limitations
Transcutaneous monitoring is intended only as an adjunct in patient assessment and must be used in conjunction with clinical signs and symptoms.
WARNING – Risk of poor correlation with arterial values If tcpCO2/tcpO2 monitoring is used on patients in a hemodynamic state of compromised peripheral circulation, this may cause poor correlation between transcutaneous and arterial values. CAUTION – US federal law restriction Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. NOTICE: This equipment is not a blood gas device. Legal notice
1-2
Instruments should be repaired by Radiometer service personnel or by Radiometer-certified representatives only.

Example: Four sensor modules:
Automatic numbering
1

4
The TCM400 monitor will automatically give each module/sensor a number when mounted. The first module from the left will be given number 1, and this sensor will always be the reference for the other sensors when calculating the Regional Perfusion Index, RPI. This means that RPI can only be calculated if there is a module placed in position 1. Example: Four sensor modules: 1

The Regional Perfusion Index, RPI, is calculated as follows: Regional Perfusion Index RPI = tcpO2(other module) / tcpO2(reference module 1)
