The manufacturer, spacelabs, has received one report of values for patient height and weight being switched when input at the xhibit central station, causing a bedside monitor body surface area (bsa) calculation to be in error. no one has been injured due to this error. in order for the error to occur, the height and weight values must have been entered at the xhibit central station, the cardiac output cable must be attached for use, and the cardiac output function on the bedside monitor must be initiated. the bsa value is determined by the monitor from height and weight of the patient and is used in subsequent hemodynamic calculations such as cardiac index. the bedside monitor also contains a “drug calculator” for computation of drug dose conversions by weight or other units of measure. in situations where the failure mode has occurred, this initial value will not be accurate due to the height and weight transposition.
