C-2 Starling Monitor - User Guide
NIBP Module
Introduction
The NIBP Module of the Starling device is an oscillometric blood pressure system. The module
is designed to take blood pressure measurements on demand. After each blood pressure
measurement, the Module will discard the previous blood pressure results. All Module
operating parameters will reset to default values at power-up. All Module blood pressure values
are discarded when the Module is reset.
Populations that May Use the NIBP Function
For pediatric and adult patients, blood pressure measurements made with the Advantage OEM BP
Module Series are equivalent to those obtained by trained observers using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultatory method within the limits prescribed by ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2 (mean error
difference of ± 5 mmHg or less, standard deviation of 8 mmHg or less).
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a
trained observer using the cuff / stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers. The NIBP Module
performance with common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial
fibrillation, has been verified by use of a patient simulator.
For neonatal patients, blood pressure measurements made with the Advantage OEM BP Module
Series are equivalent to those obtained by intra-arterial blood pressure devices within the limits
prescribed by ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2 (mean error difference of ± 5 mmHg or less, standard deviation
of 8 mmHg or less).
The automatic selection between the 3 NIBP population modes is performed when entering
the patient demographic information as follows:
 Adult – Age above 12 years (Automatic, default)
 Pediatric – Weight above 7Kg and age 12 and below (Automatic)
 Neonate – Weight 2.5Kg. and below (Automatic)
