34 Monitoring Welch Allyn Propaq CS Vital Signs Monitor
3. Place the cuff on the limb.
If possible, place it at the same level as the heart. If above the heart, add 1.9 mmHg to
the NIBP measurement for every inch above the heart. If below the heart, subtract 1.9
mmHg for every inch.
The cuff should be snug, but not uncomfortable. The hose must not be kinked or
pinched.
Make sure the cuff tubing is centered over the brachial artery.
If SpO
2
will also be monitored, place the NIBP cuff on a different limb than the SpO
2
sensor to help reduce unnecessary SpO
2
alarms.
4. Screw the hose connector onto the NIBP connector on the monitor's left side.
5. From the Main Menu, press NIBP to display the NIBP Menu:
Cuff applied evenly and
snugly with bottom edge of

antecubital fossa.
