NIBP
Overview
Noninvasive blood pressure (NIBP) uses oscillometric monitoring to measure
systolic (S), diastolic (D), and mean (M) arterial blood pressures. The Ultraview
Care Network monitor displays these readings and the time the measurement was
initiated. You can also display heart rate. The monitor can display up to ten
readings at one time and store up to 120 readings.
!
• Blood pressure measurements determined with this module are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the
cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits
prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or
automated sphygmomanometers.
• Use only cuffs specified by Spacelabs Medical. Other cuffs may
adversely affect performance and measurement accuracy.
• There are no hazards associated with using non-invasive blood
pressure equipment during defibrillation or high-frequency
electrosurgery because both the cuff and cuff tubing are non-
conductive materials.
• You can define your own default settings for such
characteristics as alarm limits and display configuration. Refer
to Setting User-Defined Default Values on page 7-7 for further
information.
