• Make sure that the cuff edge falls within the range of mark <->. If it does not, use a larger or smaller cuff
that fits better.
3. Connect the cuff to the air hose. The limb chosen for taking the measurement should be placed at the
same level as the patient's heart. If this is not possible you should apply the following corrections to the
measured values:
• If the cuff is placed higher than the heart level, add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference.
• If it is placed lower than the heart level, deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each inch of difference.
4. Check whether the patient mode is appropriately selected. Access PATIENT SETUP menu from SYSTEM
MENU and pick PAT TYPE item and turn the knob to select the required patient type.
5. Select a measurement mode in the NIBP SETUP menu. Refer to the following paragraphs Operation Hints
for details
6. Press the START button on the front panel to start a measurement.
Operation Hints
1. To start auto measuring:
Access NIBP SETUP menu and pick the INTERVAL item, in which the user may choose the selections
other than MANUAL to set up the time interval for auto measurement. After that, press START button on
the front panel to start the auto measuring according to the selected time interval.
2. To stop auto measuring:
During auto measuring press START button on the front panel at any time to stop auto measurement.
3. To start a manual measuring:
• Access NIBP SETUP menu and pick the INTERVAL item. Select the MANUAL selection. Then press
the START button on the front panel to start a manual measurement.
• During the idle period of auto measuring process, press the START button on the front panel at any time
to start a manual measurement. Then press the START button on the front panel to stop manual
measurement and the system continues executes auto-measuring program according to selected time
interval.
4. To start a manual measuring during the AUTO mode
Press START button on the front panel.
5. To stop a manual measuring
Repress the START button on the front panel again.
6. To perform continuous measuring
Access NIBP SETUP menu and pick the CONTINUAL item to start the continuous measurement. The mo-
nitor will measure as many times of NIBP as possible within 5 minutes.
7. To stop continuous measuring
During continuous measuring press START button on the front panel at any time to stop continuous
measurement.
Warning
• Prolonged non-invasive blood pressure measurements in Auto mode may be associated with purport,
ischemia and neuropathy in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring a patient, examine the extremities
of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormality is observed, stop the
blood pressure measurements.
• Prolonged non-invasive blood pressure measurements in Continuous mode may be associated with
purport, ischemia and neuropathy in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring a patient, examine the
extremities of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and sensitivity. If any abnormality is observed,
stop the blood pressure measurements.
• If liquid is inadvertently splashed on the equipment or its accessories, or may enter the conduit or inside
the monitor, contact local Customer Service Center.
Note
If you are in doubt about the accuracy of any reading(s), check the patient's vital signs by an alternative
method before checking the functioning of the monitor.
Measurement Limitations
To different patient conditions, the oscillometric measurement has certain limitations. The measurement is
in search of regular arterial pressure pulse. In those circumstances when the patient's condition makes it
difficult to detect, the measurement becomes unreliable and measuring time increases. The user should be
aware that the following conditions could interfere with the measurement, making the measurement unrelia-
ble or longer to derive. In some cases, the patient's condition will make a measurement impossible.
