Chapter 9: Non-invasive Blood Pressure
9.1 Non-invasive Blood Pressure Measurement Capability
The non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) parameter provides systolic, diastolic,
and mean arterial blood pressure values. The measured values for
non-invasive blood pressure (SYS, DIA, and MAP) are displayed in the NIBP
parameter box. The measured values will be saved every 10 seconds. NIBP
measurements can be made in automatic, manual, or STAT modes.
9.2 Non-invasive Blood Pressure Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
WARNING! Blood pressure measurements may be inaccurate if cuffs
and/or hoses other than those specified by Utech Co., Ltd. are
used.
WARNING! Verify cuff size is correct for the selected patient mode on the
monitor.
WARNING! Repeated use of STAT mode for periods longer than 15 minutes
should be avoided to reduce the patient's risk for soft tissue or
nerve damage. When using the monitor for long periods of
time, select the longest clinically appropriate measurement
interval and periodically examine the patient for signs of injury
and ensure proper cuff placement.
WARNING! Make sure that hoses are not kinked, compressed, or
restricted.
WARNING! Check that operation of the equipment does not impair the
circulation of the monitored patient.
WARNING! Blood pressure measurements may not be accurate for
patients experiencing arrhythmias.
WARNING! Do not verify the Non-Invasive Blood Pressure calibration while
the cuff is attached to a patient.
CAUTION! Extremity and cuff motion should be minimized during blood
pressure determinations.
