6.9 Correcting the Measurement when Cuff is not at
Heart Level
Apply the cuff to a limb at the same level as the patient’s heart. If the cuff is not at the
heart level, do the following to the displayed value:
■ Add 0.75 mmHg (0.1 kPa) for each centimeter higher; or
■ Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.1 kPa) for each centimeter lower.
6.10 Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NIBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure to block the venous blood
vessel and therefore help the venous puncture.
To enable the venous puncture, follow this procedure:
1. In the Menu screen, select Venipuncture.
2. Verify the target pressure is appropriate. Change it if necessary.
3. Select Inflate.
The display shows the real-time inflation pressure of the cuff, destination inflation
pressure, and the remaining time in venous puncture mode.
4. Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
5. When the puncture is complete, select Deflate, or press key. The cuff
deflates automatically after a set time if you do not deflate it.
6.11 Reviewing NIBP Data
You can review the historic measurements at BP10 by selecting History in the main
menu.
BP10 can store and display up to 500 NIBP measurements. All the stored measurements
can resume if there is power interruption.
