To Measure the NIBP
This section describes the types and attachment procedure of the cuff and NIBP
measurement.
WARNING
Before the measurement, make sure the patient classification
(Adult/Child/Neonate) on the monitor is properly selected.
Otherwise, correct measurement cannot be performed, and
congestion or other injury may result.
CAUTION

Correct NIBP measurement cannot be performed if artificial
heart lung machine is used or if the pulse is difficult to detect.
 Pay attention when measuring the NIBP of patient with
bleeding disorders or hyper coagulation. The cuff inflation may
cause petechia or circulatory failure with blood clot.
 Do not apply the cuff to the arm or thigh where vein is secured.
The blood may backflow causing the chemical injection to
cease.

Properly arrange the cuff and air hose.
 Check the condition of the cuff-applied part on the patient
during measurement so that the blood circulation will not be
blocked over a long period of time by the squashed or bent cuff
hose.
 Check the patient's condition constantly while measuring over a
long period of time with interval of 2.5 minutes or less. Also,
periodically check the blood circulation while performing
periodic measurement over a long period of time. Congestion
or rash may occur at the measuring site.
 Make sure to check the patient's condition constantly when
repeatedly using the NIBP continuous measurement mode as it
may cause dysfunction of patient's circulation.
 When the cuff is not applied to the patient, pay attention not to
leave the cuff unattended. If periodic or continuous
measurement is set, the cuff will automatically inflate and may
cause the rubber bag inside the cuff to burst. When not
performing NIBP measurement, set the NIBP measurement
interval OFF and disconnect the air hose from the NIBP
connector.
 The following factors may affect the NIBP value.

Body motion, arrhythmia, convulsion

Continuous noise such as cardiac massage

Periodic electromagnetic noise
 For the following situation, measurements will be terminated.

When the measurement time has exceeded 160 seconds
for adult and child, 80 seconds for neonate.

When the inflation value has exceeded 300mmHg for adult,
210mmHg for child, and 150mmHg for neonate.
 If used with the incorrect patient classification, it will not only
cause erroneous measurement, but the inflating level for the
adult may be applied to child or neonate causing dangerous
situation to the patient.
