12 NIBP Monitoring
12.1 Overview
The Non-invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module measures blood pressure using the
oscillometric method. This monitor can be applied to adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
Three modes of measurement are available: manual, automatic and continuous.
îš„ Manual: Pressing the NIBP key on the control panel starts a NIBP measurement.
îš„ Auto: The NIBP measurement is conducted automatically at a preset interval.
îš„ Continuous: The NIBP measurement is performed as many times as possible in five
minutes.
NOTE
z Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to
those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory
method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard,
Manual, electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.
The NIBP measurement does not produce any waveform. Instead, it displays the measurement
result in the NIBP parameter window as shown below.
Figure 12-1 NIBP Parameter Window
1. NIBP label: Selecting this label to access the NIBP SETUP menu.
2. Time of last measurement.
3. NIBP unit: mmHg or kPa.
4. Prompt information area: Shows the NIBP measurement mode and other information.
5. Systolic pressure value (NS)
6. Mean pressure value (NM)
7. Diastolic pressure value (ND)
If a set of measured results appears in grey, it indicates this measurement is performed at least 1
hour ago.
