ON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
Retried Measurements
If a measurement is unclear AND the patient category and selected inflation limit are
Adult - 180 or 270 mmHg, the monitor aborts the measurement and tries again. The
monitor displays an error message if a second attempt fails. Error messages may affect
display or measurement, as follows:
Mean Only –The monitor only displays a mean pressure in the parameter box
(the systolic and diastolic values display as ***) for some conditions
including very low systolic and diastolic pulse amplitudes or significant
motion
Cannot Measure – The monitor stops measurement and replaces all NBP
values with * * *
No Pulsation – The monitor stops measurement
Open Line – The monitor stops measurement
Measurement Timeout – The monitor stops measurement
Venous Stasis
By inflating and maintaining a constant pressure in the cuff, the monitor stops the flow
of blood to the lower extremity of the cuffed limb long enough to cannulate the
patient. The cuff in venous stasis mode will occlude the limb for about as long as an
NBP measurement (approximately two minutes for adult and approximately one
minute for neonatal patients).
To begin cuff inflation, click on
Venous Stasis. Click again to terminate the
procedure and deflate the cuff. During Venous Stasis, the monitor displays the cuff
pressure in the lower right corner of the screen, while the label
STASIS and time
remaining are displayed in the NBP parameter box.
You cannot enable
Venous Stasis if you are currently taking continuous
measurements. Interval measurements are suspended during
Venous Stasis but
resume immediately after the cuff deflates.
WARNING: Do not use venous stasis on a limb that is
unsuitable for NBP measurements (for example, an arm with a
catheter). If the patient experiences adverse reactions,
immediately press the NBP Start/Stop menu button to deflate
the cuff.
