Manual NIBP Measurement
Follow these steps to take a single NIBP measurement.
1. Attach the cuff to the patient’s arm.
2. Press .
• The monitor inflates the cuff.
• The SYS window dynamically displays the current cuff pressure.
• When the NIBP cycle is completed, a tone sounds and the NIBP measurement
results are displayed in the SYS, DIA, and pulse rate windows.
Note
If the message ‘CAL’ appears in the message window when you attempt to start
an NIBP cycle, it means that the NIBP measurement system is self-calibrating to
a zero baseline and is temporarily unavailable (for up to 30 seconds). The
requested NIBP cycle begins when the calibration is complete. However, the cuff
must remain stationary for at least 15 seconds for the calibration to complete.
