Selecting an Appropriate NIBP Cuff
For patient safety and accurate NIBP readings, it is essential to select an appropriate cuff for
patient type and size being monitored. The following table shows MDE part numbers for a
variety of cuff sizes and types:
MDE Part Number Application
E2910-06 Neonatal - size 1 Box of 10
E2910-07 Neonatal - size 2 Box of 10
E2910-08 Neonatal - size 3 Box of 10
E2910-09 Neonatal - size 4 Box of 10
E2910-12 NIBP Cuff Infant – Screw Fittings
E2910-13 NIBP Cuff Child – Screw Fittings
E2910-14 NIBP Cuff Small Adult – Screw Fittings
E2910-15 NIBP Cuff Adult – Screw Fittings
E2910-16 NIBP Cuff Large Adult – Screw Fittings
E2910-17 NIBP Cuff Thigh – Screw Fittings
WARNING: Excessive tightness of cuff may cause venous congestion.
It may also cause pinching of skin, or bruising of arm, particularly if
patient’s skin folds under cuff, causing uneven distribution of pressure
on arm.
WARNING: Do not place cuff on an extremity being used for IV
infusion, pulse oximetry, or direct (invasive) pressure monitoring.
WARNING: Operators should exercise caution and position distal
edge of inflatable cuffs higher on patient’s arm, away from elbow, to
avoid differential pressure damage to radial nerve.
WARNING: Closely observe patients undergoing thrombolytic or
anticoagulant therapy for bruising or petechiae under or distal to
cuff. Position the arm to minimize any artifact that could prolong
inflation period.
CAUTION: Calibration tubing should be kept dry and free of
particulate matter. Moisture or foreign substances in pneumatic
system can cause damage to unit.
NOTE: Avoid compression or restriction of pressure tubes during
NIBP reading.
