" " on the cuff is positioned above artery and that there are
no knots in the BP cable. When wrapped around the patient's
arm, the Cuff Index Line should fall within the Range Markers
printed on the cuff. If not, select another cuff size. The monitor
is designed for use with standard neonatal, pediatric and adult
cuffs (including arm and thigh cuffs).
Note: The cuff should be at heart level to avoid measure-
ment errors. If you cannot position the cuff on a limb at
heart level, you may need to make manual adjustments to
measurements as follows:
• If the limb/cuff position is higher than heart level, the BP rea-
ding will be lower. Add 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) to the measure-
ment result for each centimeter of distance between the limb/
cuff and the heart.
• If the limb/cuff position is lower than heart level, the BP rea-
ding will be higher. Subtract 0.75mmHg (0.1kPa) for each cen-
timeter of distance between the limb/cuff and the heart.
Starting/Stopping Measuring
Press on the device display to start NIBP measurement.
Press again to stop measurement.
Auto Measurement
1. Select [SETTING] > [NIBP Mode] > [Long-Term Automatic]
to start an automatic measurement cycle.
2. Select [Minute] to set the duration of time you want to auto-
matically measure BP. Select a time period from [5 min] to
[240 min] .
3. Select to begin the cycle.
Warning: Prolonged NIBP measurement in Auto Measure-
ment mode can be associated with purpura, ischemia and
neuropathy in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring
a patient, examine the extremities of the limb frequently
for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormali-
ty is observed, stop NIBP measurement immediately.
STAT Measurement
1. Select [SETTING] > [NIBP Mode] > [STAT]to start a quick
measurement cycle. BP measurements will be taken for about
5 minutes.
2. Select to begin the cycle.
Note: STAT measurement mode will return to manual
mode when one STAT measurement is finished.
Averaging Mode
1. Select [SETTING] > [NIBP Mode] > [Averaging] to start an
averaging mode measurement cycle.
2. To include the first measurement in the average, check the
box beside "Include the first measurement in averaging cal-
culation." If you do not wish to include the first measurement
in the average, and the box is checked, touch the check box
to uncheck it.
3. Select the total number of measurements to be taken and ave-
raged. Select between 2 and 5 measurements.
4. Select the number of minutes before the first measurement
begins. Select between 0 minutes and 5 minutes. If you select
0, measurement will begin immediately after you begin the cy-
cle by touching . If you select 1, measurement will begin
1 minute after you touch
5. Select the number of seconds between each discreet
measurement. Select an interval between 15 seconds and 120
seconds.
6. Select OK to apply your settings and then select
the cycle.
Warning: Operator is in continual attendance during the
series of measurements.
5.1.5 NIBP Display
There is no waveform displayed for NIBP measurement. NIBP rea-
dings are displayed in the BP section of the measurement display.
The following figure shows the NIBP display screen. The display on
your monitor may look slightly different.

In monitor and spot check Profile, the patient type is just
displayed in this area.
5.1.6 Setting NIBP
You can setup the NIBP measurement information as follows:
1. Select [SETTING] > [ADVANCED] > [PARAMETERS] >
[NIBP] > [Default patient type] to choose the patient catego-
ry. Choose either [Adult], [Pediatric] or [Neonate].
2. Select [SETTING] > [ADVANCED] > [PARAMETERS] >
[NIBP] to set the [Unit] to [mmHg] or [kPa].
Note: This setup is only available in Triage profile.
5.1.7 NIBP Calibration
EU countries except Germany:
Legal regulations for monitoring instruments apply to all EU coun-
tries except Germany.
Countries outside the EU:
For any countries where no legal regulations exist for monitoring
instruments, it is recommended to examine the accuracy of measu-
ring instruments in 2-year intervals. If you need to do NIBP mainte-
nance, please contact professional service personnel.
Calibration tools: 3 way connector, pipe, pressure ball, metal con-
tainer (500±25 ml), standard manometer (already calibrated, preci-
sion over 1 mmHg)
1. Connect monitor, manometer, pressure ball and metal con-
tainer as follows.
2. Reading of manometer should be 0 before deflation, if not, cut
the connection until it returns to zero.
3. 3. Select [Main Menu] - [Settings] – [Advanced] - input pass-
word > [Factory] – input password [Factory] > [NIBP Cali-
bration].
4. Select e.g. 250 mmHg as calibration level. Push [Start] but-
ton. Manually pump up standard manometer to 250 mm Hg.
Consult pressure level shown on device. Deviation +-can't be
over 3 mmHg. If correct, push [Set] button to confirm pressu-
re calibration level.
