Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION For an overall introduction to the Blood Pressure Monitor, please refer to General Information. For basic operating instructions, please refer to Button Function. For allocation of interface sockets, please refer to Interfaces. Warning Possible explosion hazard if used in the presence of flammable anesthetics or other flammable substance in combination with air, oxygen-enriched environments, or nitrous oxide.
Warning When used with Electro-surgery equipment, you must give top priority to the patient safety. Warning It is recommended that you check if there is any damage on the monitor or the accessories regularly, if you find any damage, stop using it, and contact the biomedical engineer of the hospital or our Customer Service immediately.

Chapter 4 NIBP MEASURING 4.1 Introduction • The Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module measures the blood pressure using the oscillometric method. • There are two modes of measurement available: manual, automatic. • Every mode displays the systolic, mean, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate.

wrapped too tightly around the limb. Excessive tightness may cause discoloration and eventual ischemia of the extremities. Figure 26 Use cuff Note The width of the cuff should be either 40% of the limb circumference (50% for neonates) or 2/3 of the upper arm length. The inflatable part of the cuff should be long enough to encircle 50-80% of the limb.
• If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference. • If it is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference. 4.

Warning If liquid is inadvertently splashed on the equipment or its accessories, or may enter the conduit or inside the monitor, contact local Customer Service Center. Measurement Limitations To different patient conditions, the oscillometric measurement has certain limitations. The measurement is in search of regular arterial pressure pulse. In those circumstances when the patient’s condition makes it difficult to detect, the measurement becomes unreliable and measuring time increases.
