CAUTION
There may be occasions when a particular mode is not suitable for its apparent category of patients
based on age alone. In these cases, a clinical decision shall be made to use another patient type,
NIBP cuff size or measurement technique. The clinical decision shall be based on all of the factors
listed in Determining the Patient Type (see page 3-11) to ensure the best possible and most timely
NIBP measurement acquisition.
Note
Adult and Pediatric types dictate use of a larger NIBP cuff and interconnect hose size, while Neo
uses smaller sizes; see the cuff and hose information on page 1-36.
Selecting the NIBP Cuff
WARNING
To ensure accurate reliable measurements, use only the recommended NIBP accessories. Use
the appropriate NIBP cuff size for each patient, as recommended by the current American
Heart Association guidelines for blood pressure monitoring, to ensure safety and accuracy.
