NIBP Troubleshooting Guide
Clinical Situation Possible Cause Solution
No NIBP displays
■
Adapter cable not inserted correctly
■
Remove and re-insert adapter cable
■
NIBP not enabled on 91343 or 90478
■
Enable NIBP function by setting transmitter
DIP switch 5 ON and setting DIP switch 8
OFF
■
90217 ABP not properly initialized
■
Reinitialize 90217 ABP using 90121
■
91343 Low battery indicator constantly
illuminated
■
Call qualified service person
No NIBP readings can
be obtained
■
Incorrect or inoperative cuff in use
■
Replace with cuff known to be operative
■
Tubing is kinked
■
Locate kink and straighten tubing
■
Some arrhythmias (e.g., atrial
fibrillation and frequent ventricular
ectopy) may cause a single or repeated
failure to obtain a reading (may be due
to true beat-to-beat variations in
pressure)
■
Document arrhythmia if present, verify
pressure with another method, then follow
hospital procedure for care of this type of
patient
■
Excessive patient motion or muscle
contractions associated with shivering
or severe pain
■
Ensure that patient is quiet with minimal
movement during NIBP readings; minimize
patient’s shivering
■
Blood pressure outside of
measurement range
■
Verify extremely high or low pressure with
another method
Intermittent or
complete failure to
operate
■
90217 ABP error
■
Remove 90217 ABP from service; record
event code; and call qualified service
person
Apparent incorrect
value
■
Wrong size cuff for patient
■
Measure patient’s limbs at the midpoint;
match limb measurement to range specified
on cuff (undersizing the cuff results in the
greatest degree of error)
■
Cuff is damaged
■
Replace with good cuff
■
Excessive patient motion, shivering or
severe pain
■
Ensure patient is quiet with minimal
movement during NIBP readings; minimize
patient’s shivering
■
False high readings may be the result
of venous congestion caused by
frequent readings
■
Reduce frequency of readings
■
Cuff too loose or positioned incorrectly
■
Tighten cuff or reposition appropriately
