Status Messages
At the beginning of a blood pressure measurement:
• The mean value of the previous reading disappears.
• The message READING IN PROGRESS replaces the diastolic value.
• A bleed step replaces the previously displayed systolic pressure.
If the system fails to complete an initial measurement reading, the message
SECOND READING REQUIRED will be displayed along with a description of the
cause of the failure. A second measurement automatically begins either 5- or
30-seconds later, depending on whether the short-term automatic mode is active.
If the second attempt fails:
• The message NO READING is displayed.
• An alarm sounds (if alarms are turned ON).
• One of the following messages is displayed:
INFLATE ERROR
HW ERROR
NO DATA
If the Deflate button on the front of the module or the STOP key on the display is
pressed during a reading, the reading will end and the messages NO READING
and CUFF DEFLATE will be displayed.
If the system detects unstable beat-to-beat blood pressures during
measurements, one of two messages will be displayed:
• In the neonatal mode, MOTION is displayed.
• In the adult mode, ARTIFACT is displayed.
If an error status message is displayed and the system is unable to proceed with
its current operation, you must correct the fault before the system can continue. If
you are unable to correct the fault, contact a qualified service person.
If NIBP SYSTEM FAILURE ERROR NUMBER = XX (bedside only), or HW
ERROR (bedside and remote) displays, it indicates that a hardware problem has
caused the NIBP portion of the module to be inoperable. The module must be
serviced by a qualified service person before NIBP measurements can be taken.
If the error message CUFF CAN NOT BE DEFLATED displays, it indicates that
the deflate hardware is blocked and the cuff cannot be deflated. Remove the cuff
from the limb immediately and have the module serviced. The module must be
serviced by a qualified service person before NIBP measurements can be taken.
If either of the above messages are displayed, a RESET NIBP key will be present
in the Change Config menu. Touch the RESET NIBP key to re-enable non-
invasive blood pressure monitoring.

• If these messages occur repeatedly, discontinue NIBP
monitoring and contact a qualified service person.
