Initiating a Single NIBP Measurement

To take a single NIBP reading:
Step Action
1 Enter a new patient ID or select a previously saved patient ID. If you choose not to enter an ID, the
measurements will be assigned to an "Unknown" patient ID.
2 Verify that the correct NIBP mode is selected: Adult/Pediatric or Neonatal.
3 Choose the appropriate cuff and place it on the patient.
4 Press the Cuff Start/Stop button. When the measurement is complete, the Systolic, Diastolic, and Mean
Arterial Pressure values appear in their corresponding LEDs.

Continuous NIBP Monitoring

The VS1 monitor can be used to continually measure a patient's blood pressure at specified intervals. You
can also create a cuff interval program that measures blood pressure at predetermined times and in
predefined intervals.
In Adult mode, the VS1 monitor will sound an alarm at a systolic pressure below 70 mmHg (9.3
Note—
kPa), even if a lower limit is set. Neither the feature nor the alarm can be overridden. The range remains
adjustable for use in the Neonatal mode, where lower limits can be set.

Selecting a Cuff Interval

The Cuff Interval option initiates a blood pressure reading every n minutes. From the Cuff Interval screen,
you can select any of the following intervals: OFF, STAT, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, or180
