2 - 44 0070-10-0666-01 Trio™ Operating Instructions
2.4.4 NIBP Monitoring
The Trio utilizes the oscillometric method of measuring Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP).
The measurement includes Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA) and Mean Arterial Pressures (MAP).
Two (2) frequency modes of obtaining measurements are available: MANUAL and
INTERVAL. Each mode will display the Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA) and Mean Arterial
Pressure (MAP) values in the NIBP tile.
CAUTION: Use only approved blood pressure cuffs and hoses with the
Trio.
CAUTION: A patient's skin is sometimes fragile (i.e. on pediatric and
geriatric patients or due to physiological conditions). In
these cases, a longer time duration between measurements
should be considered to decrease the number of cuff
inflations over a period of time. In extreme cases, a thin
layer of soft roll or cotton padding may be applied to the
limb in order to cushion the skin when the cuff is inflated.
This measure may affect NIBP performance and should be
used with caution.
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.
CAUTION: Any condition which may affect the regularity and strength
of arterial pressures (such as patient movement, cardiac
arrhythmias, restriction of hose, etc.), will affect the
accuracy and ability to measure the NIBP.
CAUTION: Observe caution on all patients (Pediatrics and Adults) when
NIBP is set to the Continuous mode and the 1 minute
Interval. When the NIBP “Continuous” interval is chosen, the
Trio will continually take back to back blood pressure
readings. As a safety precaution, a limit is placed on the
Continuous mode to revert to an interval of every 5 minutes
after 5 minutes of continuous readings.
MANUAL MODE Each time a measurement is desired, press the NIBP key on the Trio
keypad to initiate a measurement. Press the NIBP key a second time
to stop a measurement already in progress.
INTERVAL MODE Measurements are taken automatically at selected time intervals. The
selections are: CONT (continuous), 1min, 2min, 3min, 4min,
5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, 1HR, 2HRS, 4HRS or OFF. The
NIBP key on the Trio keypad must be pressed to initiate the first
measurement of the interval measurement cycle. If the patient is
discharged from the monitor while in interval mode, the interval
setting will revert to the User Default and the next measurement will be
delayed until the NIBP key is pressed. During the delay period, the
interval setting will remain displayed in the NIBP numeric tile and the
Elapsed Time (ET) will display as “0min”.
