Start/Stop a measurement:
1.
Make sure you are using an NBP cuff authorized by CNSystems and always use the correct size.
NOTE:
•
The width of the cuff should be between 37% and 47% of the circumference of the
patient's limb. The inflatable part of the cuff should be at least 80% of the respective
extremity.
•
The following NBP cuff sizes are available:
Size
Arm circumference (cm)
Child
12 - 19
Small Adult
17 - 25
Adult
23 - 33
Large Adult
31 - 40
2.
Attach the NBP cuff on the upper arm of the patient at heart level. The marker on the NBP cuff
should be directly above the brachial artery.
NOTE:
Do not attach the cuff too tightly around the limb as this might cause problems during
inflation and deflation of the cuff and may lead to ischemia of the extremities. Be sure to
inspect the patient's skin (color, temperature, sensitivity of limb) around the cuff on a
regular basis. Should any signs of alterations to the skin or decreased blood supply be
noticeable, immediately change arm or stop the blood pressure measurement complete-
ly.
3.
Connect the NBP cuff with the NBP air connector on the left side of the CNAP
