Description

Introduction

The Accutorr V monitors patient vital signs (including non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP),

pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pulse rate (PR)) for a single adult, pediatric, or neonatal

patient. It also monitors oral or rectal mode temperature (Temp) for a single adult or pediatric

patient; or axillary mode temperature for a single neonate, adult, or pediatric patient using

the optional Temperature Module.

NIBP Measurement

The NIBP module is used to measure the systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and mean

pressure in the neonatal, pediatric, and adult modes. The Accutorr V calculates NIBP values

using the oscillometric method of noninvasive blood pressure measurement. These

measurements correspond to comparisons with auscultatory values, measured using the fifth

Korotkoff sound within ANSI/AAMI SP10 standards for accuracy.
