The metacarpus, metatarsus and anterior tibial are recommended for the cuff placement. For anesthetized patients,
most surgeries are done on the posterior part of the body so the metacarpal area of the forelimb is most convenient. In
situations where this is not possible, place the cuff around the metatarsus just proximal to the tarsal pad or around the
hind leg next to the hock. For conscious patients, measurements from the coccygeal artery can be used over the tail site.
Canine cuff placement

For larger animals
It is preferable for a large animal, such as a horse or a cow, to be in a stock, standing still. Measurments from the
coccygeal artery on the ventral surface may be used by placing the cuff around the base of the tail.
NOTE

The limb chosen for taking the measurement should be placed at the same level as the patient's heart

If the animal’s hair over the artery site is too thick or matted for good contact, it should be clipped.
12.5.2 Starting and Stopping Measurements
Select the [ NIBP Measure ] QuickKey and you can start the desired measurement from the popup menu. You can select
the [
Stop All
] QuickKey to stop all NIBP measurements. You can also start and stop measurements by using the
hardkey on the monitor’s front panel.
12.5.3 Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level
The cuff should be applied to a limb at the same level as the patient’s heart. If the limb is not at the heart level, to the
displayed value:
 Add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter higher, or
 Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each centimeter lower.
12.5.4 Enabling NIBP Auto Cycling and Setting the Interval
1. Select the NIBP parameter window to enter the [
NIBP Setup
] menu.
2. Select [
Interval
] and then select a desired time interval. Selecting [
Manual
] switches to manual mode.
3. Start a measurement manually. The monitor will then automatically repeat NIBP measurements at the set time
interval.
In auto mode, you can enable the clock function to synchronize the NIBP automatic measurements with the real time
clock.
