6.7 Non-invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring
(option)
6.7.1 Information on NIBP Monitoring
Non-invasive blood pressure monitoring (NIBP) is used for routine monitoring of
the blood pressure on an extremity. The pressure of a pulse wave in the blood
is measured with the oscillometry method.
The systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure values are recorded as
measured values and displayed on the screen as a numerical value in mmHg.
By configuring automatic intervals, continuous automatic monitoring is possible.
A selection of predetermined settings (initial pressure) for adults, children and
neonates is available.
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to
those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation
method, within the limits prescribed by the AAMI SP10:2002(R)2008, EN1060-
4:2004 and ISO 81060-2:2009.
For paediatric and adult patient populations, blood pressure measurements
made with this device are equivalent to those obtained by trained observers
using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method within the limits prescribed by
ANSI/AAMI SP10:2002(R)2008 (mean error difference of ± 5 mmHg or less,
standard deviation of 8 mmHg or less) as well as EN1060-4:2004 and ISO
81060-2:2009.
Warning
The device is designed to function in the presence of a normal ECG sinus
rhythm. There are some physical conditions (i.e. bundle branch block,
arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, pacers, etc) that may limit
the ability of the non-invasive blood pressure measurement module to obtain
an accurate reading.
The NIBP technology integrated in corpuls
is an
OEM module from
Sun Tech Medical Inc.,
Morrisville, NC, USA.

The blood pressure monitoring system consists of the blood pressure cuff and
the connecting hose which connects the cuff to the interface at the patient box.
Warning
Delayed onset of action of emergency drugs may occur during administration
if the blood pressure cuff is placed on an extremity into which an intravascular
access has already been inserted. In this case, the blood pressure cuff should
be used on another extremity, if possible.
Caution
Microwave radiation in the immediate vicinity may interfere with the function of
the device.
