2.6.7 Non-invasive blood pressure measurement
(NIBP monitoring)
Caution
Risk of injury if NIBP cuff selected or put on incorrectly!
An NIBP cuff selected or put on incorrectly may interrupt the blood
supply or falsify measurement results due to excessive contact
pressure. This may result in injury to the patient.
Always use the NIBP cuff best suited to the patient's limb.
Selecting the right NIBP cuff is the key to ensuring a good-
quality measured value.
Attach the NIBP cuff level with the heart.
Attach the NIBP cuff so that the blood supply is not stopped.
Avoid moving the NIBP cuff during NIBP measurement.
When NIBP measurement is for an extended period: Check the
position of the NIBP cuff regularly and, if necessary, reposition
the NIBP cuff.
Repeat the NIBP measurement if measurement results are
implausible. If the repeat measurement is still implausible,
select an alternative method.
Do not bend or crush the NIBP cuff tube or the NIBP connecting
tube.
Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with poor circulation.
Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with an intravenous
infusion.
Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb on which there is already
a pulse oximetry sensor or another monitoring device.
Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with a shunt.
Do not attach the NIBP cuff to a limb with open wounds or
burns.
In the case of patients who have undergone a mastectomy, do
not attach the NIBP cuff to the affected side. In the case of
patients who have undergone double mastectomies, attach
the NIBP cuff to the non-dominant arm.
Only use an undamaged NIBP cuff.
Only use the NIBP cuffs and NIBP connecting tubes quoted in
the scope of supply and in the accessories.
Follow the instructions for use of the NIBP cuff.
