BeneVision N1 Patient Monitor Operator’s Manual 13 - 1
13 Monitoring Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP)
13.1 IBP Introduction
This patient monitor can monitor up to two invasive blood pressures and displays the systolic, diastolic and
mean pressures and a waveform for each pressure.
IBP monitoring is intended for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. PAWP monitoring is only intended for
adult and pediatric patients.
• PAWP monitoring is available only when using an external display.
IBP SAFETY INFORMATION
• Use only pressure transducers specified in this manual. Never reuse disposable pressure
transducers. See chapter 25Accessories for specified pressure transducers.
• Make sure that the applied parts never contact other conductive parts.
• To reduce the hazard of burns during high-frequency surgical procedures, 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.
• The neutral electrode of the electro-surgery unit (ESU) shall properly contact the patient. Otherwise,
burns may result.
