7-6 CARESCAPE V100 Vital Signs Monitor 2036991-001C
NIBP: Buttons Associated with NIBP
NOTES
 A patient’s vital signs may vary dramatically during the use of
cardiovascular agents such as those that raise or lower blood pressure or
those that increase or decrease heart rate.
 Several conditions may cause the NIBP parameter to calculate and display
only the mean arterial pressure (MAP) without systolic and diastolic
readings. These conditions include very low systolic and amplitude
fluctuations, so an accurate calculation for these values can’t be made (e.g.,
patient in shock); too small of a difference between systolic and MAP
calculations in relationship to the difference between diastolic and MAP; or a
leak has occurred in the V100 Monitor. If only the MAP value is displayed, an
alarm message code is displayed in the systolic window, while the Diastolic
window remains blank.
 This equipment is suitable for use in the presence of electrosurgery.
Buttons Associated with NIBP
The buttons associated with NIBP are Inflate/Stop and Cycle.
Inflate/Stop Button
The Inflate/Stop button starts and stops NIBP determinations. When a
determination is in progress, pressing this button stops the determination. While
in Stat mode, pressing this button cancels Stat mode, as well a determination if
in progress. When in auto cycle mode, pressing this button starts a
determination or cancels a determination if in progress; it does not change the
mode.
While an E80 NIBP OVERPRESSURE alarm is active, all presses of this button are
ignored and you will hear the negative key tone. Pressing this button while the
BATTERY LOW alarm is active as a high-priority alarm causes an E13 BATTERY
LOW alarm to sound and you will hear the negative key tone.
Cycle Button
The Cycle button initiates the cycle mode, which is where you can choose Stat or
an auto cycle time. Successive presses of the Cycle button show selections of:
Stat, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120 (minutes), and - - (two dashes).
Choose Stat to start Stat mode. Choose 1-120 to select the desired cycle time
and start auto cycle mode. When you reach the desired setting, do not press the
Cycle button again. After 2 seconds the cycle mode is deactivated and the main
monitoring screen is displayed. Choose the two dashes to cancel auto cycle
mode.
The +/- buttons can be used to scroll forwards or backwards through the cycle
selections while the AUTO CYCLE indicator is flashing.
Pressing this button while the E80 NIBP OVERPRESSURE alarm is active results in
the sounding of the negative key tone and no further action.
