NOTE:

The NIBP measurement results during the period of paper lacking and fast printing after 

new paper is loaded will not be saved or printed. Therefore, do not perform NIBP 

measurements during this period. 

9.4.12 *Calibrating NIBP 

NIBP is not user-calibrated. Cuff-pressure sensors must be verified and calibrated, if necessary, at 

least once every two years by a qualified service professional.   

9.5 Maternal TEMP Monitoring 

9.5.1 TEMP Monitoring Procedure 

1)    Insert the TEMP plug into the TEMP socket on the monitor. 

2)    Apply the sensor firmly underneath the patient’s axilla. It takes 5 minutes for the temperature 

measurement to stabilize. 

WARNING

1  Check if the TEMP sensor functions properly prior to use. 

2  Do not apply the TEMP sensor to the mouth or the rectum. 

CAUTION

Be cautious when taking and putting the TEMP sensor. Do not pull the cable too tight or 

it might cause mechanical damage. 

The transient response time for the continuous TEMP sensor is not larger than 30s. The 

laboratory method used to test the response time is as follows: 

1.  Prepare two reference temperature sources. The first one with a constant temperature of 25ºC 

(77ºF) and the second one with a constant temperature of 27ºC (80.6ºF). 

2.  Put the TEMP sensor to the first reference temperature source until the temperature reading 

reaches 25ºC (77ºF). 

3.  Move the TEMP sensor to the second reference temperature source. Note the time (t1) from 

the TEMP sensor being moved in to the temperature reading reaching 27ºC (80.6ºF). 

4.  When the temperature reading is stable, move the TEMP sensor back to the first reference 

temperature source. Note the time (t2) from the TEMP sensor being moved in to the 

temperature reading falling to 25ºC (77ºF). 

5.  The larger value of t1 and t2 is the response time.
