EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use 6-7
Changing NBP Settings
Maximum inflation is limited to the following values, to conform to safe limits stated in
IEC 80601-2-30:
• Adult: 280 mmHg (37.3 kPa)
• Pediatric: 190 mmHg (25.3 kPa)
• Neonatal: 140 mmHg (18.7 kPa)
Caution
Patient injury may occur if initial inflation pressure is too high.
As the cuff inflates, the current inflation pressure appears in the NBP numeric pane. After
the measurement is complete, the inflation pressure value disappears and the final
measurement values appear in the pane.
To change the initial inflation pressure:
1 Touch the NBP numeric pane.
The NBP menu appears, displaying the current settings.
2 Touch the Initial Inflation Pressure field.
A numeric keypad opens, with minimum and maximum allowable values shown.
3 Enter the value and touch OK.
The numeric keypad closes and the value you entered appears in the Initial Inflation
Pressure field.
4 Touch Done.
Note
For safety reasons, the cuff automatically deflates if:
• The measurement time exceeds 180 seconds for Adult and Pediatric patients
(90 seconds if the patient type is Neonatal).
• The microprocessor fails.
• The overpressure limit is exceeded.
• Power is lost.
Enabling Automatic NBP Printouts
If your monitor has the optional print recorder, you can enable the Auto Record NBP
feature to generate a printout each time an NBP measurement is taken. This may be
useful when you are taking NBP interval measurements.
To enable automatic printouts
1 Touch the NBP numeric pane.
The NBP menu appears, displaying the current settings.
