NIBP LIST OBSERVATION
Touch the NIBP List Area to open the NIBP List Table. Touch again will put away the NIBP
List.

The NIBP list can save 256 groups of data.
MEASUREMENT LIMITATIONS
For certain patient conditions, the oscillometric measurement has certain limitations. The
measurement must find regular arterial pressure. When the patien
t’s condition makes it
difficult to detect this pressure, the measurement will be unreliable and take longer to
complete.
In some cases, the patient’s condition will make a measurement impossible.
Such issues may arise under the following circumstance.
PATIENT MOVEMENT
Measurements will be unreliable or impossible to take if the patient is moving, shivering or
having convulsions. These motions may interfere with the detection of the pulses in
arterial pressure, and increase the time needed to take the measurement.
CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA`S
Measurements will be unreliable or impossible to take
if the patient’s cardiac arrhythmia
has caused an irregular heartbeat. It will also take longer to take the measurement.
HEART-LUNG MACHINE
It will not be possible to take measurements if the patient is connected to a heart-lung
machine.
PRESSURE CHANGES
Measurements will be unreliable or impossible to take
if the patient’s blood pressure is
changing rapidly while the measurement is being taken.
SEVERE SHOCK
If the patient is in severe shock or hypothermia, measurements will be unreliable since
reduced blood flow to the peripheries will cause reduced pulsation of the arteries.
HEART RATE EXTREMES
Measurements cannot be made
if the patient’s heart rate is less than 40 bpm or greater
than 240 bpm.
[NOTE]:
Only after the NIBP value has been measured can it be added to the NIBP
Data List. NIBP list can save up to 256 groups of data. If exceed, the new data will
remove the oldest data from the list and be added to the list.
