Start the device and connect the CNAP® Controller Cable (orange connectors)
to CNAP® Monitor and CNAP® Controller (see also p.7,9)
Select the right NBP cuff size for the patient using the indicator on the inside of
the NBP cuff and connect the black hose to the CNAP® Monitor. (see p.15)
Fit the NBP cuff on the patient‘s upper arm. The NBP cuff can be placed
ipsilaterally or contralaterally to the CNAP® finger sensor. (see p.15)
Use the indicator on the CNAP
®
Controller to find the correct CNAP® finger
sensor size for the patient. (see p. 13)
Slide the finger sensor over two neighbouring fingers, and fix the CNAP
®
Controller on the forearm using the Velcro fixation cuff. (see p. 14)
Be sure that the CNAP
®
Controller is in the center of the forearm cuff so
that the patient can freely bend his / her wrist. (see p.14)
Start measurement by clicking “Start New Measurement“. Choose patient
category “Adult“ or “Pediatric“. (see p.16, 18)
During CNAP ® initialisation the patient needs to be in a stable position.
During general anesthesia start CNAP ® before or after the induction phase!

FUNCTIONS

CALIBRATION MODES
26
AUTOMATIC NBP CALIBRATION: “INTERNAL“ (= DEFAULT)
Calibration to automatic NBP measurements triggered by the integrated NBP module in adjustable
intervals between 5-60 minutes. Can be stopped
any time by pressing Start/Stop Button.
This is the default mode delivering absolute values
automatically as long as no other blood pressure
reference value (NBP or IBP) is entered manually
(see also: external calibration mode).
MANUAL BP CALIBRATION: “EXTERNAL“
Calibration to a manually entered NBP , IBP
or height offset reference value from external
devices.
CNAP® can be operated without internal NBP
measurement calibrating to a manually entered
value for absolute BP information. Useful for special applications.
TRENDING MODE: “EMPIRIC CALIBATION“
Automatic calibration to a heart level value based
on an emipric database for bridging the short
time until CNAP® is calibrated to a measured or
externally entered NBP value.
Blood pressure curve is displayed only 10 secs after
start-up for a quick trending prior to calibration to
the directly measured reference value.

WHEN IS IT RECOMMENDED TO TRIGGER A MANUAL NBP ?
After an intervention or whenever
you feel that an update to the NBP
reading may be beneficial.
2. In situations that quickly
require updated calibration
Trigger a manual NBP after moving
or repositioning the patient or the
patient‘s hand or whenever hydrostratic change/ offset happens.
1. Upon hand movement
or patient repositioning

4. HOW TO IMPROVE MEASUREMENT QUALITY
RED: no signal can be detected
GREEN: measurement starts automatically.
Reasons / limitations:
> poor peripheral perfusion (shock, severe
Raynaud‘s, hypothermia, vasoconstriction)
> edema
for improving signal quality:
>
Check position of CNAP ® finger sensor:
Do not place on finger joints!
>
Check if CNAP ® finger sensor size is correct
>
Warm up fingers to improve blood flow
(use disposable exam glove or towel)
>
Try to measure on the other hand
