Chapter 10: NIBP Monitoring
NOTE:
■
NIBP measurements can be performed adjacent to electrosurgical unit.
Warning
Do not apply the cuff to a limb that has an intravenous infusion or catheter in place. This
could cause tissue damage around the catheter when infusion is slowed or blocked during
cuff inflation.
Warning
Do not wrap the cuff around the arm on the same side as mastectomy surgery has been
performed.
Warning
Use only recommended manufacturer Blood Pressure Cuffs and Hose. Using other cuffs or
hoses may result in inaccuracies.
Warning
Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the cuff and patient's
physiological condition.
Warning
According to general requirement for safety, Luer lock connectors are not used .Don't use
NIBP cuff with Luer lock connector because if Luer lock connector is used, there is a
possibility that they might be inadvertently connected to intravascular fluid systems,
allowing air to be pumped into blood vessel.
Warning
Make sure that the air hose of the cuff is neither blocked nor tangled.
Warning
Before starting a measurement, verify that you have selected an appropriate setting for
your patient (Neonate, Adult or Pediatric).
Warning
The maximum cuff inflation pressure is 290 mmHg in adult mode, 240mmHg in pediatric
mode and 145 mmHg in neonate mode. Furthermore, independent maximum pressure
control preservative is forecasted inside the system.
Also maximum time of being under pressure in each measurement has been limited to 2
minutes (90 seconds in neonate). However, operators should note that long-time and
continuous measurements can lead to muscular and neurotic harms, dermal injuries or
