Overview
WARNIN GS: Before non-invasive blood pressure moni-
toring, please read the safety information in the section
NBP Safety Considerations, below.
WARNIN GS: Before monitoring neonates and infants:
! Select the correct cuff size for your patient.
! Select the neonatal or pediatric patient category in
the Patient Admit menu. This protects neonates,
infants, and pediatric patients from high cuff pres-
sures used for adults.
! Select the proper Inflation Mode (Neo 90, Neo 140,
Pediatric 180).
NOTES:
! Dräger recommends NBP calibration checks as part of regular
monitor maintenance and whenever the accuracy of measure-
ment values is in doubt. NBP calibration checks should be per-
formed by qualified technical personnel. See the appendix
Default Settings and Biomedical Support for a description of
the NBP calibration check. For detailed calibration instruc-
tions, refer to the Service manual.
! In the OR mode (see the chapter Multigas), the NBP parameter
box only appears on the screen when two ECG waveforms
occupy the top two waveform channels. In this case, the NBP
parameter box is displayed next to the second ECG waveform.
If the NBP parameter box is not displayed, you cannot take
NBP measurements. To display the NBP parameter box in OR
mode, see the section NBP Measurements in OR Mode, below.
The monitor can acquire and process non-invasive blood pressure
(NBP) signals and display the results. Blood pressure measure-
ments are determined by the oscillometric method and are equiv-
alent to those obtained by intra-arterial methods, within the limits
prescribed by the Association for Advancement of Medical
Instrumentation, Electronic Automated Sphygmomanometers
(AAMI/ANSI SP-10).
