IBP Low Pulse
Systolic and diastolic values are
less than 60% of the baseline.
Elevated heart rate.
Hemodynamic interference (e.g.,
decreased stroke volume).
Clot has formed on the catheter tip.
Catheter is lodged against the
vessel wall.
Transducer is not properly aligned
to the patient’s heart level.
Air in tubing.
Kinked tubing.
• Check the patient.

calibration factor.
• Remove the clot by opening the
stopcock to the patient and
drawing back with a sterile
syringe.
• If you cannot draw back, follow
your hospital procedure for
removing clots.
• Straighten all tubing. If air is
present in the tubing, follow your
hospital procedures for removing,
flushing and repositioning the
catheter.

The patient’s invasive pressure
falls outside the current alarm
limits.
The current alarm limits are
inappropriate for this patient.

• Change the current alarm limits.
Message: IBP Too
High
Parameter value: +++
Message: IBP Too
Low

cables.
• Zero and calibrate the transducer,
if necessary.
