Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set
time (adult/pediatric 170 seconds, neonatal 85 seconds) if you do not deflate it.
1 In the NBP Setup menu select VeniPuncture.
2 Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
3 Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff.
During measurement, the NBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time
in venous puncture mode.
Calibrating NBP
NBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified and calibrated, if necessary, at
least once every two years by a qualified service professional. See the Service Guide for details.
