GE Healthcare GE DINAMAP SuperSTAT Algorithm - Manual (Page 5)

Summary
The GE DINAMAP SuperSTAT algorithm is designed to work
at lower target inflation pressures. In hospital units that
frequently see hypotensive patients (systolic ≤ 100 mmHg),
NIBP performance can be optimized by reducing the Adult
default target from 135 mmHg to 110 mmHg when using the
CARESCAPE Patient Data Module or Dash monitor. The final
selection of target inflation pressure should be done with
reference to the clinical characteristics of the patients in each
hospital unit.
Higher target pressures, while appropriate for hypertensive
patients, can result in prolonged determination times and
determination timeouts in hypotensive patients.
