Getting Started: Unpacking the Monitor and Accessories
Unpacking the Monitor and Accessories
Before attempting to use the V100 Monitor, take a few minutes to become
acquainted with the monitor and its accessories. Unpack the items carefully.
This is also a good time to check for any damage or accessory shortage. If there
is a problem or shortage, contact GE Medical Systems Information Technologies.
It is recommended that all the packaging be retained, in case the monitor must
be returned for service in the future.
Setting up NIBP Connections
1. Connect the end of the air hose that
has quick-release clips to the NIBP
connector on the front of the monitor.
Make sure that the hose is not kinked or
compressed.
NOTE: To disconnect the hose from
the monitor, squeeze the
quick-release clips together
and pull the plug from the
NIBP connector.
2. Select appropriate cuff size. Measure
patient’s limb and select appropriately sized cuff according to size marked
on cuff or cuff packaging. When cuff sizes overlap for a specified
circumference, choose the larger size cuff.
CAUTION
Accuracy depends on use of proper size cuff.
3. Inspect cuff for damage. Replace cuff when aging, tearing, or weak closure
is apparent. Do not inflate cuff when unwrapped.
CAUTION
Do not use cuff if damaged.
4. Connect the cuff to the air hose. Refer to the “NIBP” Section for complete
cuff connection instructions.
WARNING
It is mandatory that the appropriate hose and cuff combination
be used. Any attempt to modify the hose will inhibit the monitor
from switching between the neonate and adult/ped
measurement modes.
