Mindray V Series - Introduction; Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)

Introduction Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
14 - 2 V Series Operating Instructions
14.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) function in detail including how to
configure NIBP alarm limits, monitor NIBP, and configure the NIBP parameter.
The V 12/V 21 calculates NIBP values using the oscillometric method of noninvasive blood pressure
measurement. The NIBP measurement includes Systolic (Sys), Diastolic (Dia) and Mean Blood
Pressure. These measurements are determined accurate after comparison to auscultatory
measurements per ANSI/AAMI SP10 standard with the fifth Korotkoff sound which is used to
determine diastolic pressure.
The V 12/V 21 measures blood pressures that are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer
using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standard, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers.
Patient Sizes
Intended patient types: Adult, Pediatric, Neonate.
VPS Connector
The VPS module supports one (1) NIBP connector (as shown in FIGURE 14-1). Refer to "Measuring
NIBP" on page 14-5 for additional information.
