• PNEUMATIC
This item is used for air leakage test. Turn the knob to pick the item to start the air leakage test. Then the
item will change into STOP PENUM, which if picked, the system will stop air leakage test.
Warning
• This pneumatic test other than being specified in the EN 1060-1 standard is to be used by the user to sim-
ply determine whether there are air leaks in the NIBP airway. If at the end of the test the system gives the
prompt that the NIBP airway has air leaks, please contact the manufacturer for repair.
Procedure of the air leakage test:
1) Connect the cuff securely with the socket for NIBP air hole.
2) Wrap the cuff around the cylinder of an appropriate size.
3) Access the NIBP SETUP menu.
4) Turn the knob to the PNEUMATIC item and press the knob. Then the prompt "Pneum testing..." will
appear on the bottom of the NIBP parameter area indicating that the system has started performing
pneumatic test.
5) The system will automatically Inflate the pneumatic system to about 180mmHg.
6) After 20 seconds or so, the system will automatically open the deflating valve, which marks the
completion of a pneumatic measurement.
7) If no prompt appears on the bottom of the NIBP parameter area, it indicates that the airway is in good
situation and no air leaks exist. However if the prompt "PNEUMATIC LEAK" appears in the place,
it indicates that the airway may have air leaks. In this case, the user should check for loose connection.
After confirming secure connections, the user should re-perform the pneumatic test. If the failure prompt
still appears, please contact the manufacturer for repair.

• DEFAULT
Pick this item to access the NIBP DEFAULT CONFIG dialog box, in which the user may select whether
the FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIG or the USER DEFAULT CONFIG is to be used. After selecting any of the
items and exiting the dialog box, the system will pop up the dialog box asking for the user's confirmation.
13.4 nIBP Alarm Message
Among physiological alarms, those belonging to the type that the parameter has exceeded the limits may
activate the recorder to automatically output the parameters and related measured waveforms when the
alarms occur on the condition that the alarm record switch in the related menu is On.
Tables below describe the possible physiological alarms, technical alarms and prompt messages occurring
during NIBP measurement.
Physiological alarms:
Message
SYS TOO HIGH
SYS TOO LOW
DIA TOO HIGH
DIA TOO LOW
MEAN TOO HIGN
MEAN TOO LOW
Cause
NIBP SYS measuring value is above upper alarm limit.
NIBP SYS measuring value is below lower alarm limit.
NIBP DIA measuring value is above upper alarm limit.
NIBP DIA measuring value is below lower alarm limit.
NIBP MAP measuring value is above upper alarm limit.
