Initial inflation
The user can adjust the initial NIBP inflation pressure. The default is set by the Tempus depending on
patient age group – see “9.3.5 Entering patient details”.
NIBP adjusts its inflation pressure dynamically between readings so this setting only applies to the first
reading and when it is manually adjusted.
Patient Type Default initial inflation Range
Adult 160 mmHg 120 to 280 mmHg
Paediatric (29 days to 12 years) 140 mmHg 80 to 280 mmHg
Neonate (<29 days) 90 mmHg 60 to 140 mmHg
NIBP reading format
The Reading format control allows you to choose between two formats for displaying NIBP readings:
NIBP reading format S/D (M)
NIBP reading format (M) S/D
 S = systolic
 D = diastolic
 M = mean
Note
Regardless of the reading format chosen, the Tempus Pro will continue to monitor the
systolic, mean and diastolic pressures and will still output alarms when thresholds are
exceeded.
