RE:
 NEW TRANSDUCER changes


To Whom It May Concern:

This is just a reminder:

A per earlier communication, today is the day for the changeover to our new transducers.

New Edwards Life Sciences transducers - choice of:
one with an in-line VAMP
one without and in-line VAMP
now a "pull tab" instead of the previous "squeeze" function for flushing the tubing

New red pressure cables:
the connection for the new Edwards pressure tubing is different (like a telephone jack connection) and requires new cables.

There are also new transducer holders for our enjoyment!

This equipment has been standardized throughout the hospital.
