Non-invasive Blood P
ressure (NIBP) Monitoring
The system uses the Oscillometric method via a cuff which is
inflated and deflated through the SC1000.
16.1 Connecting the cuff to the SC1000
Connect the hexagonal bayonet-fitting end of the cuff extension
hose to the NIBP socket on the module, push the connector gently
and turn clockwise until it locks.
N.B. Do not force the connector.
The required cuff should be wrapped comfortably around the
patient's limb.
Connect the extension tube via the push in male-to-female
connector device (Luer fitting). Ensure that there are no kinks or
compression restrictions in the tube.
Check the limb concerned to ensure that there is no likelihood of
prolonged impairment of the patient's circulation. Set the
appropriate cuff type, to adult or neonate, and may be selected
using the 'SET' function.
The SC1000 is capable accurately sensing blood pressure on any
portion of the arm or leg, which has sufficient blood flow. This
includes the general regions of the upper arm, lower arm, thigh,
calf, ankle, and arch of foot.
Change cuff placement site every 4 to 6 hours.
Avoid cuff placement which could interfere with infusions.
