NIBP Monitoring NIBP Measurements
1. Select the Interval Mode or the Timer Mode in the Monitor Setup Menu 〉
Advanced Setup.
2. Select the NIBP tile (or Parameters) 〉 NIBP 〉 Interval. Rotate the Navigator Knob
to the desire selection. The selections are: OFF, STAT, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 1
hr, 2 hr and 4 hours.
3. Press the Start key 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.
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 or Pediatric Mode and
+40 mmHg in the Neonate Mode.
7.4.3 Suspension of NIBP Measurements
1. Press STOP to suspend an automatically timed measurement sequence or to end a
measurement cycle already in progress (deflate cuff).
2. Press START to take an immediate measurement and resume a suspended timed
measurement sequence.
NOTE: You can press STOP at any time to postpone a scheduled
measurement or to terminate a measurement cycle already
in progress.
CAUTION: Observe caution on all patients (Neonates, Pediatrics, and
Adults), when NIBP is set to STAT Mode or the 1-minute
interval, to minimize the possibility of nerve injury occurring
during use of automatically cycled blood pressure cuffs.
7.4.4 Retry measurement
7.4.5 Reset
If an NIBP measurement fails, the measurement is retried up to three times. The message
"NIBP: Retry" is displayed after the cuff deflates. If the measurement fails all three retries, the
Display shows the Sys, Dia, and Mean values as "XXX".
Reset can occur as NIBP module error(e.g. communication error). If the cuff is being inflated,
it will deflate as soon as it receives the reset signal.
When the module resets, the prompt message "NIBP: Resetting..." is displayed in the
message area B.
7.4.6 NIBP Pressure Limit Fail Safe
If the cuff is over-pressurized, the cuff will automatically vent to atmosphere.
