NOTE:
Adjust the system measuring mode (Adult, Pediatric or Neonate) and choose a
proper size of cuff with regard to patient weight and age for NIBP measurement.
Please observe the following instructions for pressure measurement:
1- Delete information of discharged patients and prepare the system for monitoring of new
patient. You may turn off the system in the meantime and relax new patient in a
comfortable position.
2- Deflate the cuff completely by hand.
3- The patient should sit quietly in a comfortable place with good back support to lean and
the feet resting on the floor.
4- Relax patient in a comfortable position for 2-3 minutes before measurement.
5- Remain quiet during measurement.
6- Attach the cuff to patient arm and keep the arm in same level with the patient heart.
7- The cuff should be placed on upper arm.
8- Place the cuff tight enough so that you can only slip two fingertips under it.
9- Position of the cuff and artery on the forearm should be adjusted properly.
10- Remove any tight fitting clothing before taking measurement.
11- Apply proper size of cuff for the patient.
Too small cuff results in too high pressure values
Too large cuff results in too low pressure values.
● IBP
The most important factors to check in IBP measurement are air bubbles in tubing system and
the transducer dome. In the most cases by changing dome, the problem is removed (as mentioned
in this manual, disposable dome must not be reused and must be changed for each patient). It
should also be checked that proper label with regard to place of measurement is selected. If the
problem is not resolved, change the transducer and if even after all above actions the problem
still persists, contact manufacturer's after sale service.
