Operation Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Measurements (NIBP)
2. Attach cuff hose to NIBP Connector.
3. Apply the cuff to the patient. To reduce errors, the cuff should be fitted snugly, with little
or no air present within the cuff. Be sure the cuff lies directly against the patient’s skin.
No clothing should come between the patient and the cuff.
NOTE: The NIBP cuff should not be placed on a limb that is being
utilized for any other medical procedure. For example, an IV
catheter or an SpO 2 sensor.
4. If not already selected, select the Patient Size through the Patient Menu as described in
Section 2.3. Choices are Adult, Pediatric or Neonate.
5. If necessary, change the initial cuff inflation pressure through the NIBP Menu.
Initial cuff inflation pressures depend on the patient size setting. The choices of cuff inflation
are:
PATIENT SIZE
SETTING
INITIAL CUFF
INFLATION VALUES
6. Press START to begin an NIBP measurement.
DEFAULT
SETTING
MAXIMUM
INFLATION VALUES
Adult 100 - 280 mmHg 180 mmHg 300 mmHg
Pediatric 60 - 180 mmHg 140 mmHg 200 mmHg
Neonate 40 - 120 mmHg 100 mmHg 150 mmHg
NOTE: Inflate the cuff only after proper application to the patient’s
limb. Cuff damage can result if the cuff is left unwrapped
and then inflated.
The cuff begins to inflate to the selected cuff pressure. After reaching the selected value the
cuff begins to slowly deflate and the Mindray DS Passport 2/Passport 2 LT Monitor
collects oscillometric pulsations.
If the initial cuff inflation is found to be inadequate, the unit retries with a higher inflation
pressure (+50 mmHg in the adult mode; +40 mmHg in the pediatric and neonate modes).
Have the patient remain still to avoid the introduction of unnecessary motion artifact. After
the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic pressure, the results of the measurement are
displayed.
If NIBP is the only parameter being measured with the Passport 2/Passport 2 LT, a heart
rate can be derived from NIBP. The HR source menu selection must be in the Auto mode (i.e.,
not selected for ECG, IBP or SpO2 ) with no heart rate alarm limits set. (See Alarms
Section 3.19 for details). If another heart rate source is available, the NIBP heart rate will be
replaced by the heart rate from the selected source.
