5 Function check
5.5 Checking NIBP cuff and NIBP
connecting tube
In addition to visual inspection of the NIBP cuff and NIBP
connecting tube (see “5.2 Carrying out a function check”,
page 104), WEINMANN Emergency recommends checking the
function of parts at regular intervals:
1. Carry out non-invasive blood pressure measurement on a
volunteer test subject (see “6.12 Non-invasive blood pressure
measurement (NIBP measurement)”, page 182).
2. Watch for escaping air during the measurement to ensure that
the system is free from leaks.
3. If the NIBP connecting tube leaks: Replace the NIBP connecting
tube.
4. If the NIBP cuff leaks: Replace the NIBP cuff.
5. If non-invasive blood pressure measurement takes too long or
produces implausible results: Check whether the patient group
and NIBP cuff are suitable for the test subject and that the NIBP
cuff has been attached correctly (see “6.12.1 Preparing non-
invasive blood pressure measurement (NIBP measurement)”,
page 182).
6. Repeat non-invasive blood pressure measurement.
7. If the non-invasive blood pressure measurement again takes
too long or produces incorrect results: Contact
WEINMANN Emergency or a technician expressly authorized by
WEINMANN Emergency.
Result The NIBP cuff and NIBP connecting tube have been checked.
