Equipment use is restricted to one patient at a time.
12.5.3 Starting and Stopping Measurements
Select the [NIBP Measure] QuickKey and you can start the desired measurement from the popup menu. You can select
[Stop All] QuickKey to stop all NIBP measurements. You can also start and stop measurements by using the [NIBP]
hardkey on the monitor’s front panel.
12.5.4 Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level
The cuff should be applied to a limb at the same level as the patient’s heart. If the limb is not at the heart level, to the
displayed value:
Add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimetre higher, or
Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter lower.
12.5.5 Enabling NIBP Auto Cycling and Setting the Interval
To enable the NIBP auto cycling and set the interval:
1. Select the NIBP parameter window to enter the [NIBP Setup] menu.
2. Select [Interval] and then select a desired time interval. Selecting [Manual] switches to manual mode.
3. Start a measurement manually. The monitor will then automatically repeat NIBP measurements at the set time
interval.
12.5.6 Enabling Measurement on Clock
In auto measurement mode, if the clock is enabled, the monitor automatically synchronizes NIBP automatic
measurements with the real time clock. For example, if [Interval] is set to [20 min], and you start NIBP auto
measurement at 14: 03, the next measurement will be taken at 14: 20, and then at 14:40, 15:00, and so on.
To enable measurement on clock:
1. Select the NIBP parameter window to enter the [NIBP Setup] menu.
2. Set [Clock] to [On].
NOTE
The measurement on clock feature is only available for patient monitors supportingAdvanced ECG
algorithm.
Measurement on clock is effective only when NIBP Interval is set to [5min] or an option greater than 5 min.
