IntelliVue CL NBP Pod
The IntelliVue CL NBP Pod is a battery powered, cableless, non-invasive blood pressure (NBP)
measuring device.
To measure NBP, you need a Mobile CL NBP Cradle and Mobile CL Cuffs. The cradle is used to
attach the Pod to the cuffs and to allow easy removal of the Pod.
Specialized single-patient and reusable NBP cuffs are available for use with the IntelliVue CL NBP
Pod. For details regarding the cuffs and single-patient cradle, refer to the chapter "IntelliVue CL NBP
Pod Accessories" on page 62.
Availability of Patient Alarms
When the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices are used alone, without an assignment to a
monitor or telemetry device, no patient alarms will be generated.
When the IntelliVue Cableless Measurement Devices are assigned to a patient monitor or telemetry
device and a short range radio connection exists, alarms may be announced at the host device.
• When assigned to a patient monitor: Alarm messages will be displayed and audible alarm
indicators sounded at the patient monitor in the same way and under the same conditions as for its
own measurements. See the Instructions for Use of the patient monitor for details.
• When assigned to a telemetry device: Measurement values sent via the telemetry device to the
IntelliVue Information Center can generate alarms at the Information Center when the values
meet the criteria set there for alarms. The alarms will be announced in the same way as
measurements from other sources. See the Instructions for Use of the Information Center for
details.
• When assigned to GuardianSoftware: Measurement values sent via transmitters or hotspots to
IntelliVue GuardianSoftware will be visualized in GuardianSoftware. Since IntelliVue
GuardianSoftware is a data management system, no alarms are derived. The IntelliVue Cableless
Measurement Devices will also not generate physiological alarms when connected to IntelliVue
GuardianSoftware. See the Instructions for Use of GuardianSoftware.
