NIBP Monitoring
12-6
you fail to do so, use the following methods to correct the measurement result:
Make sure the mark “φ” is located at an appropriate artery. Do not wrap or secure the cuff too tightly, or
the distal extremity may suffer from discoloration or ischemia. Regularly check the skin condition of the
contact part and the color, temperature and feeling of the limb which wears the cuff. If the skin condition
changes or the blood circulation of the limb is affected, move the cuff to another body part for continued
measurement or stop the NIBP measurement immediately. In auto measurement mode, observe the skin
condition frequently.
If the cuff is not at the same level as the heart, use the following correction formulas:
If the cuff is at a higher level than the heart: displayed NIBP value + 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) × level
difference (cm).
If the cuff is at a lower level than the heart: displayed NIBP value - 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) × level
difference (cm).
