Chapter 14 IBP Monitoring
14.1 Overview
This monitor supports 2-channel invasive blood pressure (IBP) measurement, and can be directly used to measure
IBP.
IBP measurement is intended for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients.
14.2 Safety Information
Do not touch the metal parts connected to electrical equipment when connecting or using any accessory.
When the monitor is connected to high-frequency electrosurgical equipment, to protect patient from
burns (resulted from electric leakage), do not allow the sensors and monitor cables to contact high-
frequency electrosurgical equipment.
Use the pressure sensor specified herein only.
Never reuse the disposable pressure sensor in case of cross-infection.
The IBP transducer is provided in a sterile condition. If the package is found damaged do not use the
transducer and dispose of it correctly.
Before monitoring the patient check that sensor cable works properly. Remove the IBP sensor cable from
the sensor connector, and the Monitor displays the prompt message [IBP sensor off] and triggers an
alarm sound.
All invasive measurements pose a risk to patients. Aseptic technology should be applied in the
measurement, and manufacturer's instructions should be followed.
Physical impacts on the IBP sensor may lead to significant changes in zero and incorrect measurements.
Calibrate the sensor, whether it is brand-new or being used, regularly according to the relevant
procedures of the hospital.
With the protection against electric shock and against the effects of defibrillators, the pressure
transducer specified herein can be used for surgical operations. The pressure waves may become
disordered during the defibrillation. Once the defibrillation is completed the Monitor will return
normal operation mode without loss of any data, and maintain the essential performance.
