3. Screw the hose connector onto the NIBP connector on the monitor's left side.
4. If motion artifact such as shivering, coughing, or vehicle motion interferes with NIBP
readings, do the following:
Position the patient’s limb away from the body so the applied cuff is not in contact
with the patient’s body or any other object such as a bed rail. Try to keep the cuff at
the same level as the heart.
Connect the ECG leads to the patient and perform ECG monitoring during NIBP.
Set Up the NIBP Channel
Press the
NIBP
button to display the status window and menu.
A cuff that is not properly connected to the patient may result in a false
reading if the patient and cuff are moved by motion artifact or clinical
personnel during the NIBP measurement. Always verify the cuff is properly
placed on the patient.
START/STOP Starts and stops NIBP measurements. Any time the Propaq Encore is taking a
noninvasive pressure measurement, the
START button changes to STOP so you
can stop the measurement in progress. This button initiates the same action as
the
START/STOP button at the left side of the screen. Pressing STOP will
automatically vent the cuff.

This symbol indicates the NIBP reading was taken
in the presence of high motion artifact while
monitoring ECG. Artifact can affect accuracy.
To help reduce artifact, see page 60.
