Choosing the Alarm Source
You can monitor for alarm conditions in systolic, diastolic, and mean pressure, either singly or in
parallel. Only one alarm is given, with the priority of mean, systolic, diastolic.
If mean is not selected as alarm source (
Sys., Dia., or Sys & Dia selected), but the fetal monitor can
only derive a mean value, mean alarms will nevertheless be announced using the most recent mean
alarm limits. Check that the mean alarm limits are appropriate for the patient, even when not using
mean as the alarm source. When no value can be derived an
NBP Measure Failed INOP will be
displayed.
Assisting Venous Puncture
You can use the cuff to cause sub-diastolic pressure. The cuff deflates automatically after a set time if
you do not deflate it.
1 In the Setup NBP menu select VeniPuncture.
2 Puncture vein and draw blood sample.
3 Reselect VeniPuncture to deflate the cuff.
During measurement, the display shows the inflation pressure of the cuff and the remaining time in
venous puncture mode.
Calibrating NBP
NBP is not user-calibrated. NBP pressure transducers must be verified at least once every two years by
a qualified service professional, and calibrated, if necessary. See the Service Guide for details.
