12.8 Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the NIBP cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure to block the venous blood vessel and therefore help venous
puncture.
1. Select [VeniPuncture >>] from the [NIBP Setup] menu. In the popup menu, verify that the [Cuff Press.] value is
appropriate. Change it if necessary.
2. Select [VeniPuncture].
3. Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
4. Select the [NIBP] hardkey on the monitor’s front panel, or the [Stop All] QuickKey to deflate the cuff. The cuff
deflates automatically after a set time if you do not deflate it.
During measurement, the NIBP display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in venous
puncture mode.
