F15 Series Fetal & Maternal Monitor User Manual After Monitoring
- 110 -
NOTE:
The monitor checks uterine contract (UC) pressure when the NIBP key is pressed. If the UC is
over 50, a prompt “Intense UC, can't measure NIBP now.” is issued, and the monitor will check
the UC every 30 seconds. The monitor will measure NIBP only when the UC is lower than 50,
and it will then start timing for the Auto measurement.
To stop the current measurement,
Press the NIBP key anytime during the current measurement to stop it. Another measurement will
start after the time interval.
WARNING
Prolonged NIBP measurements in automatic mode may be associated with purplish patches,
ischemia and neurologic damage in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring a patient,
examine the extremities of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any
abnormality is observed, stop the NIBP measurement.
