13.5.2 Correcting the Measurement if Limb is not at Heart Level
To correct the measurement if the limb is not at heart level to the displayed value:
Add 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each
centimeter higher or
Deduct 0.75 mmHg (0.10 kPa) for each
centimeter lower or
Add 1.9 mmHg (0.25 kPa) for each inch
higher
Deduct 1.9 mmHg (0.25 kPa) for each inch
lower
13.6 NIBP Multi-Review Window
To set the display of NIBP measurements, select NIBP Setup > Review:
 When it is set to On, a window for NIBP measurements will be displayed at the waveform
area on the main interface, and the size of this window varies depending on the numbers of
displayed waveforms.
 When it is set to Off, the window is unavailable on the screen.
13.7 Resetting NIBP
When the pressure does not work properly and the system fails to give a message for the problem,
pick Reset in the User Maintain > NIBP Maintain menu to activate self-test procedure, and
thus restore the system from abnormal performance.
13.8 Calibrating NIBP
NIBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure transducers must be verified and calibrated, if
necessary, at least once every two years by a qualified service professional. See the Service
Manual for details.
13.9 Leakage Test
Leakage test is used to detect the air tightness of the NIBP pump, valve, and trachea. If not, the
system will display NIBP leakage. NIBP leak detection should be performed at least once every
two years or when you think the measurement is inaccurate.
WARNING
This leakage test other than being specified in the ISO 81060-1 standard is to be used by
the user to simply determine whether there are air leaks in the NIBP airway. If at the end
of the test the system gives the prompt that the NIBP airway has air leaks, please contact
the manufacturer for repair.
Procedure of Leakage Test
1. Connect the cuff securely with the socket for NIBP air hole.
2. Wrap the cuff around the cylinder of an appropriate size, don’t wrap the cuff around limbs.
3. Make sure the patient type has been set to Adult.
4. Access User Maintain > NIBP Maintain.
