11.8.5 Setting the NIBP Display Format
To set the NIBP display format, follow this procedure:
1. In Continuous Monitoring mode, select the NIBP numeric area to enter the NIBP
menu. In Spot Check mode, select the Main Menu quick key → from the
Parameters column select Setup → select NIBP.
2. Select the Setup tab.
3. Set Display Format.
11.8.6 Setting the NIBP Alarm Limits Display Switch
In Continuous Monitoring mode, you can 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.
11.8.7 Selecting NIBP Measurement Algorithm
You can change the NIBP measurement algorithm adopted on your monitor. Follow this
procedure:
1. Select the Main Menu quick key → from the System column select Maintenance
→ input the required password → select → Module.
2. Under the NIBP tab, set NIBP Measurement Algorithm to:
◆ Inflation: the monitor measures blood pressure during cuff inflation. If
succeeded, this measurement is completed. If the measurement fails at the
inflation stage, the monitor will automatically continue the measurement at
deflation stage.
◆ Deflation: the monitor measures blood pressure during cuff deflation.
Affected by measurement factors or patient’s physiological conditions, inflation
algorithm might fail, be incorrect, or unavailable. Then the monitor automatically
continues to perform the NIBP measurement at deflation stage. The measurement
factors or patient’s physiological conditions include:
■ Excessive patient movement
■ Using cuffs with no symbol
■ Using cuffs of inappropriate size
■ Cuffs being too tight or loose
■ Using well-worn cuffs
■ Patient blood pressure being too low
■ Patient pulse rate being too low
