Configuring the Initial Inflation Pressure
The Initial Inflation Pressure setting specifies the maximum amount that the cuff will
inflate when you admit a new patient. In Interval or Continuous monitoring mode, the
cuff inflates to the Initial Inflation Pressure setting for the first NBP measurement, and
then the monitor adjusts the inflation value based on the patient’s systolic measurement.
The factory default value for Initial Inflation Pressure is based on the patient type:
• Adult: 160 mmHg (21.3 kPa)
• Pediatric: 140 mmHg (18.7 kPa)
• Neonatal: 100 mmHg (13.3 kPa)
Initial inflation pressure is reset to factory default values when a new patient is admitted.
