Maternal Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring: SuperSTAT NIBP Determination
Accelerated Determination
The monitor will try to make an accelerated determination of blood pressure if it has
been 16 minutes or less since the last determination and the current blood pressure is
similar to the previous reading.
Systolic Search
If systolic pressure is not found, the NIBP parameter can search at cuff pressures
higher than the initial target pressure. The parameter will inflate the cuff above the
initial target pressure to get data in the systolic region. The maximum pressure
allowed in systolic search is limited by the normal range for cuff pressures. In any
operating mode, if a patient's systolic pressure exceeds the inflation pressure, the
parameter will begin normal deflation sequence, detect the absence of a systolic
value, stop deflation, reinflate to a higher (than initial) inflation pressure, and
resume the normal deflation sequence.
WARNING
Arrhythmias will increase the time required by the NIBP
parameter to determine a blood pressure.
