Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off 11 Monitoring NBP
159
If mean is not selected as alarm source (Sys, Dia, or Sys&Dia selected), but the monitor can only derive
a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean alarm limits.
When no value can be derived an NBP MEASURE FAILED INOP will be displayed.
Switching Pulse from NBP On/Off
In the process of making the NBP measurement, a pulse value can be derived and displayed. The pulse
value is displayed together with the time the measurement was made. After one hour the value becomes
invalid. There are no alarms associated with pulse from NBP.
To switch the display of the pulse value on or off:
♦ In the NBP Setup menu select Pulse (NBP).
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.
