60 Patient monitoring
Located in the upper-left corner of the Home tab, the NIBP frame contains data and
features relevant to noninvasive blood pressure measurement. The frame provides
different features, based on the profile you are using.
For information about obtaining blood pressure measurements, refer to Blood pressure
guidelines at
vital-signs-devices/connex-spot-monitor/documents.html.
NIBP measurement display
In all profiles, the frame can display systolic and diastolic measurements, and MAP
calculations. Authorized personnel can configure the default view in Advanced settings.
The last NIBP measurement remains on the screen unless you touch Save or Clear, or
until a new measurement is taken.
If any NIBP measurement is out of range or cannot be determined, the NIBP frame
shows a "++" or "- -" in front of the measurement. All other NIBP parameters display no
values.
View indicator
Touch the NIBP frame to toggle between views.
Buttons
Use the buttons on the right side of the frame to perform different tasks, depending on
the profile you are using. The availability of functions depends on which profile you
select. See the Profiles section for more information.
Technical alarms and NIBP measurements
A technical alarm stops any NIBP measurement. Once the alarm is resolved, the start
button appears and you can start a new NIBP measurement.
NIBP cuffs
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Properly position the blood
pressure cuff to ensure blood pressure accuracy.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Only use the cuff when the
artery index marker falls within the printed range indicated on the cuff;
otherwise, erroneous readings will result.
CAUTION Inaccurate measurement risk. Any external compression of the
blood pressure hose or cuff may cause system errors or inaccurate
measurements.

as approved accessories to ensure safe and accurate NIBP measurements.
Warning Patient injury risk. Never use an adult or pediatric monitor setting
or cuff for an NIBP measurement on a neonatal patient. Adult and pediatric
