Chapter 5: NIBP Measurement
Root provides noninvasive blood pressure readings through an oscillometric method.
An oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement is a noninvasive method that
monitors the amplitude of cuff pressure changes during cuff deflation to determine arterial
blood pressure. The NIBP module is designed for use on adult, pediatric, and neonatal
patients.
Patient Measurement Mode
Below is a table that provides a method for selecting the appropriate NIBP patient category.
To change patient category see Profiles on page 75.
Weight Patient Category Maximum Pressure
Greater than 75lbs (34kg) Adult 280 mmHg
Between 15.4-75lbs (7-34kg) Pediatric 280 mmHg
Less than 15.4lbs (7kg) Neonatal 140 mmHg
Cuff Selection and Placement
Root uses a bayonet hose with a blood pressure cuff to measure NIBP. For a list of compatible
NIBP patient hoses and cuffs, visit http://www.masimo.com/.
To ensure the correct cuff size
Wrap the cuff around the arm.
The index line should align within the cuff range markings .
If the index line does not fit within the range markings, select a larger or smaller cuff.
