Preparing to Take Measurements
ZOLL M Series Operator’s Guide - Option Insert 9
As a safety feature, the cuff can never be inflated to more than 300 mmHg (40.0 kPa). On M Series
CCT units, the cuff can never be inflated to more than 300 mmHg (40.0 kPa) in adult or pediatric
mode, and never more than 150 mmHg (20.0 kPa) in neonatal mode.
Auto Adjust The M Series unit automatically adjusts the cuff inflation pressure for all subsequent measurements
to 30 mmHg (4.0 kPa) greater than the systolic value of the previous measurement. This default
setting is called Auto Adjust. For example, the cuff inflates to 160 mmHg for the first measurement
and the unit obtains a systolic reading of 110 mmHg. For the next measurement, the cuff inflates to
140 mmHg (i.e., 110 + 30 = 140).
If the Auto Adjust feature is set to “OFF”, the selected cuff inflation pressure is used for all
measurements. If the Auto Adjust feature is set to “ON”, the selected cuff inflation pressure is used
for the first measurement only. After the first measurement, the cuff inflation pressure automatically
adjusts to 30 mmHg (4.0 kPa) greater than the systolic value of the previous measurement.
Setting Cuff
Inflation
Pressure Before taking a measurement, check that the cuff inflation pressure is appropriate for the patient. The
cuff inflation pressure options are:.
* Neonatal and pediatric NIBP modes available on M Series CCT units only.
See the M Series Configuration Guide for information on reconfiguring the cuff inflation pressure
default setting.
WARNING Do not set cuff inflation pressure too high, particularly for pediatric, neonatal, or frail patients. Serious
injury can result.
To set the cuff inflation pressure:
1. Press the Cuff Inflation softkey from the NIBP menu. If the Cuff Inflation softkey is not
displayed, see "Displaying the NIBP Menu" on page 7.
NOTE On M Series CCT units, you access the Cuff Inflation softkey from the NIBP Settings menu.
Press the Settings softkey from the NIBP menu, then press the Cuff Inflation softkey. If the
Settings softkey is not displayed, see "Displaying the NIBP Menu" on page 7.
The M Series unit displays the Cuff Inflation menu.
