2. For children and when using hoses without identification with a PSM, the inflation
limit must be set manually.
3. PDM and TRAM: Always select the NIBP cuff size before starting a measurement. If
you are trying to start the measurement without selecting the cuff size first, the
NIBP menu opens automatically with the Cuff Size list open.
4. PSM: Check that the cuff hose was detected (if cuff detection is supported).
5. PSM: Start the Venous Stasis mode and check that the pump is not restarting
during the measurement. If it does, the cuff may be leaking.
NIBP measurement on screen
When a STAT or Venous Stasis mode is enabled, a time progress bar displays in the
NIBP parameter window:
With NIBP Auto mode this may be replaced by a count down indicator. The selection
of either the Graphical progress bar or the Numerical indicator is a care unit setting
and it is password protected.
●
NIBP Auto : The length of the green bars indicates the proportion of the cycling time
since the last measurement while the distance between the end of the green bar
and the last tick mark indicates the time remaining until the next measurement.
●
STAT or Venous Stasis : The bar indicates the time that the mode will continue. STAT
holds multiple measurements for 5 minutes, and Venous Stasis continues without
measurements for 1 minute with infants and 2 minutes with children and adults.
●
During clock synchronization, the length of the green bars indicates the difference
between the cycling time and time remaining until the next measurement.
