NIBP Tile Layouts Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP)
14 - 12 V Series Operating Instructions
14.5.4 Heart Rate (HR) Measurement
If the HR Source is set to Auto, and no other source for HR is available, the NIBP measures the patient’s 
heart rate for Neonate, Pediatric, and Adult sizes using a blood pressure cuff. If the system is unable to 
measure heart rate, “- -” displays in place of a numeric. 
NOTE: Refer to the Heart Rate (HR) chapter for additional information. 
14.5.5 Message Area
The message area provides information about the current state of the NIBP parameter. When a 
message is displayed, it overwrites the units of measure. If there is more than one message to display, 
the messages scroll.
MESSAGE DETAILS
NIBP Systolic High Alarm 
Violation
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or higher than the set alarm 
limits.
NIBP Systolic Low Alarm 
Violation
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or lower than the set alarm 
limits.
NIPB Diastolic High Alarm 
Violation
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or higher than the set alarm 
limits.
NIPB Diastolic Low Alarm 
Violation
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or lower than the set alarm 
limits.
NIPB Mean High Alarm 
Violation
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or higher than the set alarm 
limits.
NIPB Mean Low Alarm 
Violation 
Indicates that the current value is either equal to or lower than the set alarm 
limits.
Measuring The NIBP measurement is in process once the cuff begins to inflate.
Deflate  The measurement stopped and the cuff deflates.
Retry – Pump Higher The measurement failed due to a reason other than inadequate cuff inflation 
pressure or hardware overpressure, and a retry is being attempted. 
Cuff Inflation Pressure Failure; 
Retry 
The measurement failed because of inadequate cuff inflation pressure and a 
retry is being attempted. 
Unable to Measure The system was unsuccessful in capturing the NIBP measurement. This 
message times out with the NIBP data and is based on the NIBP timeout.
Measurement Stopped  The measurement ceased before it finished taking the measurement.
Ready to Begin a 
Measurement
The monitor is ready to take an NIBP measurement.
Cuff Overpressure The hardware overpressure limit was exceeded. 
Check Calibration Software detected that the overpressure transducer is out of calibration. 
Press Start NIBP to Clear 
Overpressure
The NIBP cuff pressure exceeded the maximum pressure allowed for a given 
patient size.
Measurement Failed; Retry The NIBP measurement was unsuccessful and must be retried. 
NIBP XXX Out of Range 
(where <XXX> is NIBP 
Systolic/Diastolic/Mean 
pressure)
The NIBP measurement result exceeds the NIBP measurement range.
