15.9.6 Setting NIBP Sequence
NIBP sequence measurement can have up to five phases: A, B, C, D, and E. You can individually set the duration
and interval of each phase.
To set NIBP sequence, follow this procedure:
1. Select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP menu.
2. Select the Sequence tab.
3. Set Duration and Interval of each phase.
15.9.7 Setting the NIBP Display Format
To set the NIBP display format, follow this procedure:
1. Select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Display Format.
15.9.8 Setting the NIBP Alarm Limits Display Switch
To set whether to display the alarm limits of diastolic NIBP and mean NIBP, follow this procedure:
1. Select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on or off Display Alarm Limits.
15.9.9 Showing/Hiding PR
You can set whether to display the PR value in the NIBP parameter area. To do so, follow this procedure:
1. Select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP menu.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Switch on or off Display PR.
15.9.10 Correcting the NIBP Measurements
The middle of the cuff should be at the level of right atrium. If the limb is not at the heart level, you need to
correct the measurement:
â– Add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) to the displayed value for each centimetre higher.
â– Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) to the displayed value for each centimeter lower.
15.10 Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NIBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure to block the venous blood vessel and therefore help
venous puncture. To assist venous puncture, follow this procedure:
1. Select the VeniPuncture quick key or select the NIBP numeric area → Setup tab.
2. Set Venipuncture Pressure.
3. Select VeniPuncture at the bottom of the menu.
4. Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
5. Select the NIBP Start/Stop quick key to deflate the cuff. If you do not deflate the cuff, the cuff
automatically deflates after a period of time (170 seconds for adult and pediatric patient, 85 seconds for
neonatal patient).
During venous puncture, pay attention to the cuff pressure and the remaining time displayed in the NIBP
numerics area.
