Introduction to the Instrument
NBP Modes
The measurement offers adult, pediatric, and neonatal modes.
The following table lists the cuff inflation limits for each mode:
The following table lists the measurement ranges for each mode:
Safety
The following table lists the maximum limits that ensure patient safety:
If any one of these safety limits is violated, an INOP is generated and the valve opens.
