NIBP Measurements NIBP Monitoring
7 - 8 0070- 0-0704-02 Passport V Operating Instructions
5. If necessary, change the initial cuff inflation pressure through the NIBP Menu. Initial
cuff inflation pressures depend on the patient size setting. The values for cuff inflation
are identified in the following table:
6. Press START to begin an NIBP measurement.
CAUTION: Blood pressure cuffs must be used with the manufacturer’s
correct and approved hoses.
CAUTION: Please consult a physician for interpretation of blood
pressure measurements.
CAUTION: A blood pressure measurement can be affected by the
position of the patient, and his / her physiological condition
as well as other factors, such as patient movement.
NOTE: Inflate the cuff only after proper application to the patient’s
limb. Cuff damage can result if the cuff is left unwrapped
and then inflated.
NOTE: Changing the patient size, during measurement will stop the
current measurement and the cuff shall be deflated.
7. The cuff begins to inflate to the selected cuff pressure. After reaching the selected value
the cuff begins to slowly deflate and the Passport V collects oscillometric pulsations.
8. If the initial cuff inflation is found to be inadequate, the unit retries with a higher inflation
pressure (+50 mmHg in adult or pediatric mode; +40 mmHg in neonate mode).
9. The patient should remain still to avoid the introduction of unnecessary motion artifact.
After the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic pressure, the results of the measurement
are displayed.
10. If NIBP End Tone is set to On in the NIBP Menu, a double tone will sound to
indicate a successful NIBP measurement.
The NIBP measurement will be automatically removed from the display after a predetermined
time interval. The NIBP timeout interval is 15 minutes by default and can be set to a different
value through the Installation Menu.
7.4.2 Automatic Interval NIBP Measurements
There are two modes available for automatic NIBP measurements. They are the Interval
Mode and the Timer Mode. The Interval Mode allows you to set the interval between
measurements. For example, if the interval is set to 10 minutes and the START key is pressed
at 10:12, the measurements will be taken at 10:12, 10:22, 10:32, etc. The Timer Mode
allows you to set an interval that is synchronized with the real time clock. For example, if the
timer is set to 30 and the START key is pressed at 10:12, the measurements will be taken at
10:12, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30, etc.
