Welch Allyn Connex IWS, Directions For Use Manual

Page: 140 / 266

Note
The sensor is for single-patient use only. You can reuse the
sensor on the same patient if it is clean and dry, and the
adhesive still adheres to the skin. Otherwise, use a new
sensor. Do not reuse the sensor on another patient.
Note Do not use disposable sensors on patients who have allergic
reactions to the adhesive.
Note
A process indicator appears in the RRa frame until an
RRa measurement is available for display.
7. Connect the RRa sensor to the RRa cable.
8. Confirm that the monitor displays RRa data within approximately 60 seconds of
connection to the patient.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Incorrect sensor application or
excessive duration of sensor use can cause tissue damage.
Inspect the sensor site periodically as directed in the sensor
manufacturer's instructions.
Detaching the sensor during a measurement triggers an alarm.
NIBP
Noninvasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) frame
From the NIBP frame, you can measure blood pressure.
The NIBP frame contains data and features relevant to noninvasive blood pressure
measurement. The frame provides different features based on the profile you are using.
NIBP frame in Continuous Monitoring profile
The size of the NIBP frame and displayed measurements varies based on your
configuration.
The Continuous Monitoring profile also provides a visual indication of aging episodic
measurements (those more than 16 minutes old) and a timestamp indicating the time of
the measurement. When a NIBP measurement is displayed for more than 16 minutes,
the numerics on the screen change from their current color to gray. After one hour,
these measurements are cleared from the frame.
