Intended Use — NIBP
The ZOLL R Series NIBP option is indicated for the non-invasive measurement of arterial
blood pressure for resting patients in critical care and in-hospital transport.
The R Series NIBP option is designed to measure blood pressure for adult patients (21 years of
age and older) and for pediatric patients, as described in the following table:
ECG Monitoring
The patient’s ECG is monitored by connecting the patient to the unit via a 3- or 5-lead patient
cable, hands-free therapy electrodes, or through paddles. Five seconds of ECG is presented on
the display along with the following information:
• averaged heart rate, derived by measuring R to R intervals
• lead selection - I, II, III, aVR, aVL, aVF, V (with ECG cable), PADDLES or PADS, P1, P2,
P3 (when using OneStep Pacing cable with OneStep Complete electrodes).
P1, P2, and P3 are non-standard ECG leads derived from electrodes within particular
OneStep electrodes. While ECG signals acquired from these leads are appropriate for
rhythm assessment and determining electrical capture during pacing, they should not be
used for ECG morphological evaluation. Attach conventional ECG electrodes for diagnostic
purposes.
• ECG size - 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3 cm/mV
• other operational prompts, messages, and diagnostic codes
Monitoring or diagnostic ECG bandwidth is selectable.
Recorder Function
The strip recorder is provided to document events. The strip recorder normally operates in the
delay mode (6 seconds) to ensure the capture of ECG information immediately preceding
critical events. The recorder may be activated manually by pressing the RECORDER button.
It is activated automatically whenever a defibrillation SHOCK is delivered, a heart rate alarm
occurs, or the rhythm analysis function is activated. The strip recorder may also be configured
not to print during these events.
