5 ALARMS AND MESSAGES
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NBP)
Message Possible Cause Suggested Action
Message: NBP Cannot
Measure
Parameter value: ***
Faulty equipment.
Improper cuff placement.
Patient’s pulse too low.
Excessive patient movement.
• Check the patient.
• Check the hose and cuff.
• Move the cuff to a limb with less
movement.
• Check proper placement of the
cuff.
• Restart measurement.
Message: NBP Artifact
Parameter value: ***
The patient is moving or shivering. • Check the patient.
• Move the cuff to a different limb
with less movement.
Message: NBP No
Pulsation
Parameter value: ***
Weak signal. Monitor is unable to
detect a sufficient number of
pulsations of adequate amplitude
within two minutes.
• Check the patient and treat if
necessary.
• Check the hose and cuff.
• Check for proper size, placement
of cuff.
Message: NBP Cuff
Leak
Parameter value: ***
The monitor has detected a
significant drop in the cuff pressure
during inflation.
• Check for leaks in the cuff or
hose.
• Change the cuff and hose, if
necessary.
Message: NBP Fault -
Power Cycle Monitor
Parameter value: ***
Faulty equipment.
Improper cuff placement.
Transducer needs calibration.
NBP hardware needs repair or
calibration.
Hardware safety timer has expired.
• Check the hose and cuff.
• Check proper placement of cuff.
• Turn the monitor off, then on if
you detect a hardware failure.
• If the message does not clear,
take the unit out of operation and
call your Biomed or
DrägerService.
Message: NBP Mean
Only
Parameter Value:
NBP M <value>
NBP S <***>
NBP D <***>
The patient's pulse is too low for
the monitor to derive the systolic
and diastolic pressure values but
large enough to report the mean
pressure value.
Improper cuff placement
• Check the patient.
• Check proper placement of the
cuff.
Message: NBP Meas.
Time-out
Parameter value: ***
Measurement time has exceeded 2
minutes.
• Repeat the measurement.
Message: NBP Open
Line
Parameter value: ***
There is no significant increase in
cuff pressure during the inflation
cycle.
• Verify the cuff connection.
