6. Mean pressure (displayed after measurement completed) or cuff pressure (dis-
played during the measurement)
7. Diastolic pressure
8. Mean pressure alarm limits
9. Start/Stop NIBP measurement
10. Sequence information (for Sequence mode): the capital letter indicates the current
phase and the time indicates the current measurement interval
11. Diastolic pressure alarm limits
12. Time to the next measurement (for Auto mode and Sequence mode)
The display of pressure values can be configured. For details, see 11.8.5 Setting the NIBP
Display Format.
• If the measurement fails, “XX” is displayed; if measurement is not taken, “--”
is displayed.
• Outlined numerics indicate that the measurement is old and exceeds the set
time. So these values are not recommended for reference.
11.6 Preparing for NIBP Measurement
11.6.1 Preparing the Patient for NIBP Measurement
In normal use, perform NIBP measurement on a patient who is in the following position:
■ Comfortably seated
■ Legs uncrossed
■ Feet flat on the floor
■ Back, arm and feet supported
For patients taking orthostatic BP measurement, refer to 11.10 Orthostatic BP
Measurement.
• It is recommended that the patient calms down and relaxes as much as
possible before performing the measurement and that the patient do not
talk during the measurement.
• It is recommended to have the patient sit quietly for several minutes before
taking the measurement.
• For known hypertensive patients, you need to set initial cuff pressure to a
higher value to reduce the measurement time.
