2.4.4.2 Measurement
1. Ensure that the appropriate PATIENT SIZE (Adult or Pediatric) has been selected from
the PATIENT SETUP menu accessible from the SYSTEM MENU.
2. Depending on the desired measurement frequency mode, proceed as follows:
Manual Mode
Press the NIBP key, located on the front panel keypad, to begin the NIBP measurement.
Interval Mode
a. Open the NIBP SETUP menu by selecting NIBP from the main display using the
Navigator™ Knob. Once in the NIBP SETUP menu, select the INTERVAL Drop-
Down menu and choose the desired setting.
b. Press the NIBP key, located on the front panel keypad, to initiate the first
measurement of the interval measurement cycle.
The cuff begins to inflate. After reaching the default pressure for the selected patient size, the
cuff gradually deflates and the Trio collects oscillometric pulsations. During this inflation and
deflation portion of the measurement, the current pressure in the cuff is displayed in the lower
right corner of the NIBP parameter tile as “CUFF:XXX”.
If a measurement cannot be obtained, the Trio automatically reinflates the cuff to 30 – 60
mmHg higher than the initial inflation pressure, but will not exceed the maximum cuff
pressure listed in the “NIBP Sub-System Functional Requirements”, section 6.2.6.5.
The patient should remain still to avoid the introduction of unnecessary motion artifact. After
the cuff pressure drops below the diastolic pressure, the measurements are displayed in the
NIBP parameter tile. These results will remain displayed in the NIBP parameter tile until the
user-definable DISPLAY TIMEOUT interval has been reached or until a new NIBP
measurement is obtained. The default DISPLAY TIMEOUT interval is 15 minutes.
NOTE: Pressing the NIBP key while the NIBP measurement is in
progress will stop the measurement and deflate the cuff.
• To initiate a STAT blood pressure at any time between intervals, press the NIBP
key on the front panel keypad.
• To exit the Interval Mode, choose OFF from the INTERVAL Drop-Down menu.
NOTE: If CONT (Continuous) is chosen as the interval, the
monitor will take continuous blood pressure
readings for five (5) minutes. After 5 minutes, the
Trio will automatically revert to an Interval Mode of
5 minutes. The NIBP key on the front panel keypad
must be pressed to initiate the new interval.
