During inflation, the Monitor will close the deflation valve, and pressure reading will be shown as
inflation takes place. If there is no manual deflation operation, the pressure will persist until deflation
by the manual valve. It is necessary to deflate in several steps to verify the pressure accuracy at points
across the full scale measurement range.
Mode 2: Manual inflation.
Increase the pressure manually by the inflation balloon, and the verification can be done by applying
different pressures manually. If the increased pressure exceeds the given limit as shown in table B, the
Monitor will deflate automatically because of the over-pressure protection valve in each mode.
% After verification, press the button again to return to normal working mode and continue operation,
or the NIBP key will be invalid.
% Pressure accuracy verification should be undertaken by a technician or equipment manager and
never with the BP cuff still on a patient.
u Air Leakage Check
In order to avoid measurement errors or even no measurement result caused by air leakage in the
pneumatic system including the cuff during measuring, it is recommended to check if there is leak in the
pneumatic system as well.
% Please remove the cuff from patient while performing the leakage check.
Safety Instructions for NIBP Monitoring
When taking the NIBP measurement of a pediatric or neonate's (less than 10 years old), do NOT operate
Ø
in the adult mode as the high inflation pressure may cause lesion or even body putrescence.
Ø It is recommended to take the blood pressure measurement manually. Automatic measurement should
be used at the presence of a doctor/nurse.
Ø NIBP monitoring is prohibited to those who have severe hemorrhagic tendency or with sickle cell
disease, or partial bleeding will appear.
Ø Manual blood pressure measurement is recommended or the automatic measurement used in the
presence of a clinician.
Ø Confirm your patient category (adult, pediatric or neonate) before measurement.
Ø Do NOT use the NIBP cuff on limbs with transfusion tubes, intubation or skin lesions, otherwise,
damages may be caused.
Ø If automatic blood pressure measurement is set for too long, the limb connected to the cuff may
possibly experience purpura, lack of blood and neuralgia. In order to protect patient, it is requested to
