Drager Infinity Vista XL monitor NIBP module Patient Monitor Module

Dräger Infinity Vista XL Monitor is a patient monitoring system designed for critical care environments, and its NIBP (Non-Invasive Blood Pressure) module is a key component for measuring blood pressure without invasive procedures. Below is an overview of the NIBP module and its integration with the Infinity Vista XL monitor:

Key Features of the NIBP Module:

• Non-Invasive Measurement:
• Uses an oscillometric method to measure systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) via an inflatable cuff placed on the patient’s arm, thigh, or other appropriate sites.
• Suitable for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients (depending on cuff size compatibility).
• Accuracy and Safety:
• Designed to minimize patient discomfort while ensuring reliable readings.
• Includes safety features like automatic pressure limiting to prevent over-inflation and tissue damage.
• User-Friendly Interface:
• Integrated with the Infinity Vista XL’s touchscreen display for real-time visualization of blood pressure trends and waveforms.
• Alarms for hypertensive/hypotensive events or measurement errors.

Measurement Modes:

• Manual Mode: Single measurements initiated by clinicians.
• Auto Mode: Programmable intervals for continuous monitoring (e.g., every 5/10/15 minutes).
• Stat Mode: Rapid cycling for unstable patients.
• Data Integration:
• Blood pressure data is stored and displayed alongside other vital signs (e.g., SpO₂, ECG, etCO₂) for comprehensive patient assessment.
• Compatible with hospital networks for electronic medical record (EMR) integration.
• Technical Specifications:
• Pressure Range: Typically measures from 20 to 300 mmHg (varies by cuff size and patient population).
• Cuff Compatibility: Works with Dräger’s range of single-patient-use or reusable cuffs.
• Power Source: Integrated into the monitor’s main unit; no external power required.
• Calibration: Automatic self-tests during startup; minimal manual calibration needed.
• Clinical Applications:
• Critical Care: Continuous monitoring in ICUs, operating rooms, or emergency departments.
• Postoperative Care: Track hemodynamic stability after surgery.
• Neonatal/Pediatric Care: Specialized cuffs for smaller patients.
• Safety and Maintenance:
• Cuff Placement Sensors: Alerts for improper cuff application or leaks.
• Disposable Components: Reduces cross-contamination risks.
• Service Alerts: Notifies users of module errors or required maintenance.

Compatibility:
The NIBP module is part of the Infinity Vista XL’s modular architecture, allowing it to be combined with other modules (e.g., SpO₂, temperature, invasive pressure).

Firmware updates ensure compliance with evolving clinical standards.

Limitations:
Motion artifacts or arrhythmias (e.g., atrial fibrillation) may affect measurement accuracy.

Not a substitute for invasive arterial pressure monitoring in highly unstable patients.
