3) Locate the cu in such a way that the artery mark «

» is at a locaon where the clearest pulsaon of
brachial artery is observed.
4) The cu should be ghtened to a degree where inseron of one nger is allowed.
5) The lower end of the cu should be 2cm above the elbow joint.
2. The paent should lie on the back so that the cu and the heart are in a horizontal posion and the most accurate
measurement is taken. Other postures may lead to inaccurate measurement.
3. Do not speak or move before or during the measurement. Care should be taken so that the cu will not be hit or
touched by other objects. The air tube which connects the cu and monitor should be straightway without any tangle.
4. The measurement should be taken at appropriate intervals. Connuous measurement at too short intervals may lead to
pressed arm, reduced blood ow and lower blood pressure, and resulng inaccurate measurement of blood pressure.
It is recommended the measurement be taken at intervals of more than two minutes.
5. With the oscillometric method, when blood pressure is measured, the inaon pressure of the cu will be automacally
adjusted according to the previous measurement. Generally, the inial inaon pressure is 150mmHg (for the adult
mode) or 120mmHg (for pediatric) or 70 mmHg (for neonate) when it is powered on. Following that, 28mmHg (for
adult) or 25mmHg (for pediatric) or 25mmHg (for the neonate) will be added on the basis of the last measurement of
systolic pressure. In this way, when the blood pressure rises or the paent is changed, the device may fail in giving the
result aer the rst-me inaon. This device will automacally adjust the inaon pressure unl the measurement is
taken, aer that, up to four mes retry will be allowed.
6. When an adult paent is monitored, the device may fail in giving the blood pressure measurement if the Pediatric or
neonate paent type is selected.
7. When taking NIBP measurement on pediatric or neonatal paents, the operator must select correct paent type
depending on dierent paents (refer to NIBP menu setup) and do NOT operate with the adult paent type seng. The
high inaon pressure for adult is not suitable for pediatric paents.
9.6 Understanding the NIBP Numerics
NIBP Panel:
NIBP label and unit
Systolic
pressure value
Mean arterial
pressure
NIBP measurement
mode
Diastolic
pressure value
Pulse rate value
 “NIBP”: the label of blood pressure. “129” is the systolic pressure value, “86” is the diastolic pressure value, and “94”
is the mean arterial pressure.
 “mmHg”: the unit of blood pressure value, 1kPa = 7.5mmHg.
 “PR62”: pulse rate value when taking blood pressure measurement.
 “Manu”: the icon of NIBP measurement mode. There are 3 modes: “Manual” , “Auto” and “STAT”. When in “AUTO”
mode, a count-down mer is displayed as well.
