Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Measurements (NIBP) Operation
If NIBP is a selected trend source, then NIBP data will be recorded in the trend with the time
stamp of the reading. If NIBP is not a selected trend source, then NIBP data will be recorded
in the trend with the next entry into the trend caused by another trigger (i.e. Alarm, Interval
Entry, or Mark Event key press). The time stamp will be that of the trigger causing the trend
entry. (See Section 3.12 for details on trend triggers).The NIBP measurement and NIBP heart
rate will be automatically removed from the display after a predetermined time interval. The
NIBP timeout interval is 15 minutes by default and can be set to a different value through the
Installation Menu.
3.3.3 Automatic NIBP Measurements
There are two modes available for automatic NIBP measurements. They are the Interval
Mode and the Timer Mode. The Interval Mode allows you to set an interval that
measurements will be taken. For example, if the interval is set to 10 minutes and the START
key is pressed at 10:12, the measurements will be taken at 10:12, 10:22, 10:32, etc. The
Timer Mode allows you to set an interval that is synchronized with the real time clock. For
example, if the timer is set to 30 and the START key is pressed at 10:12, the measurements
will be taken at 10:12, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, etc.
Follow Steps 1 - 5 in Manual NIBP Measurement, Section 3.3.2.
7. Select the Interval Mode or the Timer Mode in the Monitor Setup menu.
8. Press INTERVAL until the desired time displays. The choices are: Off, Cont, 1 min, 2
min, 2.5 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs or 4 hrs.
9. Press START to begin taking interval measurements.
NOTE: If the monitor is in the interval mode when it is turned ON,
no measurement will be taken until the START key is
pressed.
NOTE: When the NIBP “continuous” interval is chosen, the
Passport 2/Passport 2 LT will continually take back to back
blood pressure readings. As a safety precaution, a limit is
placed on continuous and 1 minute interval measurements.
In continuous mode, after 5 minutes, the NIBP interval will
automatically switch to one measurement taken every 5
minutes. In 1 minute mode, after 10 minutes the NIBP
interval automatically switches to measurements taken once
every 10 minutes.
3.3.3.1 Automatic Adjustment in the Interval Mode
In the Interval mode, the unit adjusts the inflation pressure according to the previous reading
of the systolic pressure. After the first measurement in the timer mode, the inflation pressure is
the previous systolic +50 mmHg in the Adult Mode and +40 mmHg in the pediatric and
neonate mode.
