2. Check the paent informaon area on the screen. Set a correct paent type, select a correct cu size.
3. Connect the tube with cu to the connector marked with “NIBP” icon on the signal input panel.
4. Select a cu with correct size, then unfold the cu and wrap it around the paent’s upper arm as follows:
Determine the paent’s limb circumference.
Select an appropriate cu by referring to the limb circumference marked on the cu. The width of the cu
should be 40% of the limb circumference, or 2/3 of the upper arm’s length. The inatable part of the cu should
be long enough to encircle at least 50% to 80% of the limb. When pung on the cu, unfold and wrap it around
the upper arm evenly to appropriate ghtness.
Remember to empty the residual air in the cu before the measurement is commenced.
Locate the cu in such a way that the artery mark «» is at a locaon where the clearest pulsaon of brachial
artery is observed.
The cu should be ghtened to a degree where inseron of one nger is allowed.
The lower end of the cu should be 2cm above the elbow joint.
9.5.2 Starng and Stopping Measurements
Starng and Stopping NIBP Measurements by pressing NIBP measure key “ ”.
Too frequent blood pressure measurements may cause purpura, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the
cu. Inspect the applicaon site regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cued limb for
normal color, warmth and sensivity. If any abnormity occurs, move the cu to another site or stop the blood
pressure measurements immediately.
9.5.3 Factors Aecng NIBP Measurement
Like common non-invasive blood pressure measurement, improper operaon may cause inaccurate or blank result
or misunderstanding of the measuring informaon when the oscillometric method is used to take the blood pressure
measurement. These points need parcular aenon of the operators.
1. Requirements of the cu:
1) Appropriate cu should be selected according to the age of the paent.
2) Remember to empty the residual air in the cu before the measurement is commenced.
