Preparing to Take
Measurements
Setting Up the Hose and the Cuff
Before taking NIBP measurements, select the appropriately sized cuff, connect the hose to the
M Series unit and to the cuff, and apply the cuff to the patient. Additional cuffs and hoses can be
ordered from ZOLL Medical Corporation. See "NIBP Accessories" on page 19 for part numbers.
Selecting the
Cuff The NIBP option comes with a cuff that inflates to cut off the patient’s blood flow and then deflates
slowly to allow the blood flow to gradually resume. To take accurate measurements, you must use the
proper sized cuff. Bladder length should be at least 80 percent of the limb circumference, while the
cuff width should be equal to 40 percent of the limb circumference.
Select the appropriate size cuff for the patient from the following table:
* Neonatal and pediatric NIBP modes available on M Series CCT units only.
You can now connect the hose to the M Series unit and the cuff.
CAUTION You must use the 3 m hose when making neonatal NIBP measurements with an M Series CCT unit.
The 3 m hose (ZOLL Part No. 8000-0662) is standard on M Series CCT units. Do not use the 1.5 m
hose when making neonatal NIBP measurements -- the cuff may not inflate, causing the unit to abort
the NIBP measurement.
