NIBP Protocol
Select
to start the sequential NIBP protocol as follows:
1.
BP every 5 minutes times 12 measurements then
2.
BP every 15 minutes times 4 measurements then xcvb
3.
BP every 30 minutes times 4 measurements then
4.
BP hourly forever until turned off
During the protocol, a clock symbol
will be displayed in the NIBP region. An NIBP reading will be taken at
each point in the protocol and the blood pressure will be displayed
To cancel the NIBP protocol, touch and hold the NIBP region to access the NIBP menu and touch
.
Note: The latest measurement results are displayed continuously until a repeat measurement is
made or for a period set by the user in the system settings. Refer to section 13.5.
To stop the measurement, touch and hold the NIBP region. Touch
to stop the
measurement.
To avoid harming the patient, clinical judgement should be used to determine whether unattended
blood pressure measurements are appropriate, particularly in the range 1 to 5 minutes.
Failed measurements (manual and automatic)
When an NIBP measurement fails:
• The NIBP display shows
---/--.
Always use the correct size of cuff. Do not use any cuffs other than those licensed for use with the
Team3.
For maternal use only; do not use on neonates.
Safety mechanisms are incorporated to prevent over-inflation, or extended period inflation. However,
patients should be advised to summon assistance if any discomfort results from the use of the NIBP
function, and its use discontinued.
Note that, as with all auto-BP measurement systems, results may vary from one make to another,
and from measurements based on using a manual sphygmomanometer. Readings are also subject
to the well documented "white coat effect" & patients should be rested for a minimum of 3 minutes
before measurements are taken. It is recommended that BP readings are confirmed using a manual
sphygmomanometer before diagnosing clinical hyper- / hypo- tensive conditions requiring treatment.
Avoid taking measurements during contractions as this may affect the reading.
Frequent measurements may cause blood flow interference and injure the patient.
To prevent further injury, do not place the cuff on any wound.
