2.1.8 Non-invasive blood pressure
Signal input
Single-lumen tubing system, type CF signal input (IEC 601-1), patient is electrically not
connected to the system, thus the system is protected from defibrillation discharges and
electrosurgery voltages).
Signal processing
Oscillometric method:
stepwise pressure decrease, zero pressure reference prior to each measurement
Two measuring modes: adult
neonate
mmHg
adult systolic 25 to 255
diastolic 10 to 220
mean 18 to 255
neonate systolic 20 to 155
diastolic 5 to 110
mean 10 to 130
The specifications are met for pulse rates between 40 and 240 BPM (adult/neonate).
Safety circuits
Redundant monitoring of the cuff pressure by means of a second independent pressure
sensor; cuff deflation immediately on exceeding max. cuff pressure, on detection of faults
during a measurement and on power loss.
Max. cuff pressure
adult 300 mmHg
neonate 160 mmHg
Special features
When the cuff is properly applied the module recognizes in the adult mode whether the
cuff matches the selected range. If the wrong cuff is applied, the measurement is interrup-
ted.
