The following is a description of the NIBP and Agents boxes.
(1) Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). NIBP is the first parameter (from the
left) displayed in the Vital Signs Display. The Systolic, Diastolic and Mean
blood pressure values are displayed along with measurement information such
as the Elapsed Time (ET) since the last measurement and the time until the
next measurement (if in the Automatic Mode). While in the Manual mode,
MANUAL is shown in the place of the time until the next measurement.
During a reading cycle the current cuff pressure is displayed (“CUFF: XXX”).
Between the measurements the elapsed time (time since the last reading) is
displayed (ET= 00:00:00) instead of the cuff pressure.
The NIBP error messages are shown in place of the “NEXT: 00:00:00.” If
errors are detected by the NIBP circuitry, one of the following messages are
displayed which preclude the determination of the blood pressure:
(a) OVER PRES: Cuff inflation pressure has exceeded 280 ±5 mmHg.
(b) CALIB: Monitor has detected DC offset below 1 mmHg or above 11
mmHg.
(c) NOT INFLATING: Cuff inflation runs longer than 30 seconds.
(d) LONG PRES: Cuff pressure remains at one level for more then 30
seconds.
(e) CUFF LEAK: The cuff inflation pump has run for more than 20
seconds. Check hose and cuff connections.
(f) RESID PRES: Cuff pressure above 20 mmHg for more then 180
seconds.
(g) WRONG CUFF: The wrong cuff is attached for the patient setting.
Select Adult or Neo (as appropriate) in the SETUPS Menu.
(2) Agents. The Agents box is in the middle of the Normal Screen. This box
displays the numerical values for a wide variety of anesthetic agents. Most
Anesthetic Agents are identified and specified by name next to the numerical
value for the gas being measured.
d. System Status Display. The System Status Display is located at the very bottom of the
Normal Display and provides the operator with visual indications of the operational
status of the system. From left to right the symbols are the DCU Battery Status symbol,
the WPU Communication/ Battery Status symbol and the Network symbol.
(1) DCU Battery Status. This symbol is currently inactive. In the future it will
provide a visual indication of the DCU Battery Charge Status.
(2) WPU Communication/Battery Status Symbol. This symbol is currently
only partially active. In the future it will indicate the Battery Status of the
WPU. Currently it indicates the status of the communication link between the
DCU and WPU by replacing the normal symbol of the Bed and Battery with
one of the Bed boxed in red with a red X through it.
(3) Network Symbol. This symbol provides the Network Designation for the
wireless link. It is important that networked units are correctly identified to
avoid the unintentional interference with a patient on another network of
monitors. This symbol aids the identification of the selected network by
providing three different indications with shapes, colors and numbering all
used to identify specific networks.
