  • Cause
    When epiq 7 ultrasound system is set up to ‘metric’ and weight and/or height is entered, a unit conversion error may result in the incorrect calculation of the patient’s body surface area (bsa). using patient’s weight only to calculate the bsa, which is the usual practice for patients under the age of 2 years, would result in a value that is too high by a factor of about 1.7. a cardiac index calculated using that value would be too low by a factor of 1.7. an error of this magnitude may not be readily detected by the user.Alternatively, when using weight only the bsa may be out by a factor of about 1.7 which is much harder to detect as a cardiac index calculated using that value may not be as obvious to the user. however it is highly unlikely that this type of calculation would be used for patients older than 2 years of age. therefore, the risk of this error occurring is greatest when the bsa is calculated using weight only in patients under 2 years of age.
