NIBP Fault.
No valid blood pressure found. The patient mode setting is incorrect or the wrong hose or
cuff is being used for the current patient mode.
NIBP Fault.
Calibrating.
Please wait. The monitor periodically calibrates (zeroes) the NIBP
channel to make sure it can properly make NIBP
measurements. No NIBP monitoring can be done until the
calibration is completed. Other normal monitor operation
continues during NIBP calibration.
NIBP Fault.
Calibrating.
Minimize motion. Motion is detected during a periodic NIBP calibration.
Minimize patient motion or motion on the cuff, or
disconnect the cuff. Motion-generated noise on the
pressure transducer can cause the calibration to continue
indefinitely.
NIBP Fault.
Low battery.
NIBP disabled. The battery is too far discharged to operate the NIBP
channel. Insert the monitor into a powered cradle.
NIBP Fault.
Service required.
NIBP disabled. Have the monitor serviced.
NIBP Fault.
Kinked or neonate hose. A hose is kinked or a neonate hose is detected in the adult
patient mode. Check the hose and the patient mode
selection.
NIBP Fault.
Artifact present.
Minimize motion. The monitor has detected too much artifact to allow
accurate readings. Take steps to reduce artifact. 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.
Network
Communication Comms Fault.
Check Acuity/network connection. The monitor detects a network communication problem.
Comms Fault.
Check USB connection. The monitor detects a problem in communication with the
cradle. Detach and reattach the USB cable.
Not on Network.
Patient info entry not allowed. You attempted to select the Name, ID, or Rm field on an
Acuity-enabled monitor that is not connected to the
network.
Battery Low Battery.
Charge battery soon. The monitor battery charge is low, and the monitor will shut
down in 30 minutes or less. Insert the monitor into the
cradle. If no cradle is available, find an alternative method
of monitoring the patient before the monitor shuts down.
Very Low Battery.
Charge battery now. The monitor battery charge is very low; the monitor will shut
down in 5 minutes or less. Insert the monitor into a cradle or
find another way to monitor the patient before the monitor
shuts down.
Battery Too Low.
Shutting down. The monitor battery charge is too low to support monitor
function. Monitor operation can continue only after the
battery is recharged or replaced or until the monitor is
inserted in a powered cradle.
