BeneVision N Series Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 17 - 1
17 Monitoring Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP)
17.1 IBP Introduction
You can measure invasive blood pressure (IBP) using the MPM, or the IBP module. This patient monitor can
monitor up to 8 invasive blood pressures.
IBP monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. PAWP monitoring is only intended for
adult and pediatric patients.
• If your monitor configures the PiCCO module, you can also measure IBP with the PiCCO module. For
more information, see 22Monitoring Continuous Cardiac Output (from PiCCO Module).
17.2 IBP Safety Information
• Use only pressure transducers specified in this manual. Never reuse disposable pressure
transducers.
• Make sure that the applied parts never contact other conductive parts.
• To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedure, ensure that the monitor’s
cables and transducers never come into contact with the high-frequency surgical units.
• When using accessories, their operating temperature should be taken into consideration. For more
information, see instructions for use of accessories.
• All invasive procedures involve risks to the patient. Use aseptic technique. Follow catheter
manufacturer's instructions.
• Mechanical shock to the invasive blood pressure transducer may cause severe shifts in zero balance
and calibration, and cause erroneous readings.
