9.1 NIBP Monitor Instruction
Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) is measured by oscillatory method.
It can be used for measuring an animal's blood pressure.
•
Measurement Mode：Manual, Auto and Stat.
•
Every mode will display SYS,DIA & MAP
•
'Manual' Mode：Take only one measurement.
•
'Auto' Mode：The measurement was repeated. The interval can be set as 1 /
2 / 3 / 5 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 60 / 90 minutes.
•
'Stat' Mode：Continuous measurement for 5 min.
Warning
For animals with severe coagulation disorder, it is necessary to determine whether to
take automatic blood pressure measurement according to clinical evaluation,
because there is a risk of haematoma at the friction between limb and cuff.
When measuring on a small animal, make sure that the correct mode setting is
selected (see cuff type setting).
9.2 NIBP Monitor Measurement Operation
9.2.1 NIBP Measurement
The inflation tube connecting the blood pressure cuff and the monitor should be in
good condition.
1.
Turn on the device and insert the inflation tube into the blood pressure cuff and
the monitor.
•
Measure the circumference of the animal's limbs and choose the appropriate
cuff.
•
Make sure the cuff is completely deflated.
•
Use appropriate size cuff for animals to ensure that the marker is just above
the appropriate artery. Ensure that the cuff is not too tight around the limb.
Warning
The length of the inflatable part of the cuff should be enough to surround 50-80% of
the limb. The wrong size of the cuff will produce the wrong reading. If there is a
problem with the cuff size, use a larger cuff to reduce errors.
•
Check that the edge of the cuff falls within the range marked < - >. If not,
replace it with a more suitable cuff.
•
Connect the cuff with the inflation tube.
•
Confirm whether the measurement mode is correct (the measurement mode
is displayed in the information area of the power on Interface).
•
Press the corresponding function button on the front panel to start inflation
and pressure measurement.
