NBP SETUP
VF8 DELTA/DELTA XL/KAPPA 13-11
Continuous Measurements
In continuous mode the monitor takes NBP measurements continuously over a period
of five minutes.
To start continuous measurements
1. Open the NBP menu (see page 13-8).
2. Click on
Continuous Mode.
3. Click to toggle the mode
ON. The monitor takes NBP measurements for five
minutes and continuously updates the NBP parameter box. The previous
measurement displays until the current one is complete.
The monitor waits at least two seconds between the end of one measurement and the
start of another to achieve reperfusion of the limb. The entire continuous measurement
cycle is aborted if there is an NBP alarm.
To stop a continuous measurement in progress, click again on
Continuous Mode in
the NBP menu or press the
NBP Start/Stop fixed key. The entire measurement cycle
is canceled.
WARNING:
Rapid, prolonged cycling of non-invasive pressure
measurements have on occasion been associated with
petechia, ischemia, purpura, or neuropathy. Make sure
that the cuff is properly attached and check the cuff
site regularly to prevent cuff pressure from impeding
the blood flow.
When using continuous mode, observe the patient
closely and verify limb perfusion clinically. Be extra
vigilant when using continuous mode on neonates or
hemodynamically compromised patients.
