15.5 NIBP Display
The NIBP display shows only numerics.
• If NIBP measurement fails, “XX” is displayed; if NIBP measurement is not taken, “--” is displayed.
• Outlined NIBP numerics indicate that the measurement is old and exceeds the set time. So these
NIBP values are not recommended for reference.
