The cuffed limb should be at the same level as the patient’s heart. If the limb is not at the
heart level, to the displayed value:
îš„ Add 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimetre higher, or
îš„ Deduct 0.75mmHg (0.10kPa) for each centimeter lower.
9.5.4 Enabling NIBP Auto Cycling and Setting the Interval

measurements at the set time interval.
WARNING
z Continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurements may cause purpura,
ischemia and neuropathy in the limb with the cuff. Inspect the application site
regularly to ensure skin quality and inspect the extremity of the cuffed limb for
normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormity occurs, move the cuff to
another site or stop the blood pressure measurements immediately.
9.5.5 Starting a STAT Measurement
