    Service Manual for Waveline EZ Prior to making blood pressure measurements, the cuff is placed around a limb, typically an upper arm (left or right). The NIBP measurement system is initiated by commands responding to pressing the NIBP Start/Stop switch on the front panel. The cuff is inflated at a rate controlled by the pump excitation current to a pressure above systolic, at which level the artery is effectively occluded.
