3. Place the cuff on the limb.
If possible, place it at the same
level as the heart. If above the
heart, add 1.9 mmHg to the NIBP
measurement for every inch above
the heart. If below the heart,
subtract 1.9 mmHg for every inch.
The cuff should be snug, but not
uncomfortable. The hose must not
be kinked or pinched.
Make sure the cuff tubing is
centered over the brachial artery.
If SpO
2
will also be monitored,
place the NIBP cuff on a different limb than the SpO
2
sensor to help reduce unnecessary SpO
2
alarms.
4. Screw the hose connector onto the NIBP connector on the monitor's left side.
5. From the Main Menu, press NIBP to display the NIBP Menu:
START/STOP Starts and stops NIBP measurements. During the measurement,
you can press STOP (or the Start/Stop NIBP key at the right side of the
screen) to stop the measurement and vent the cuff.
If the Propaq CS monitor does not recognize a valid NIBP reading, it
automatically attempts another measurement while displaying a retry
message. The monitor attempts up to two retries (depending on patient
mode and settings).
AUTO/MANUAL Switches between Automatic and Manual Mode. In Automatic Mode, the
monitor automatically takes measurements at the selected interval.
