The monitor measures blood pressure as the cuff is inflating. If patient movement, excessive
noise, or an arrhythmia prevent the monitor from determining the blood pressure while the
cuff is inflating, the monitor inflating the cuff pressure again.
When the measurement is complete, the NIBP frame displays the measurement until you
start another NIBP measurement.

WARNING Patient injury risk. Never install Luer Lock connectors on
Fukuda Denshi blood pressure cuff tubing. Using these connectors on
blood pressure cuff tubing creates the risk of mistakenly connecting this
tubing to a patient’s intravenous line and introducing air into the patient’s
circulatory system.
Caution Inaccurate measurement risk. Any external compression of the
blood pressure hose or cuff may cause system errors or inaccurate
measurements.
1. Properly size the blood pressure cuff and position it around the patient’s bare upper arm.
2. Touch Start/Stop to take a measurement.
