6. MEASUREMENT PARAMETERS 
6.1 Introduction 
This chapter provides information about the Cardiocap/5 standard measurement features and all 
measurement options.  
6.1.1 Hemodynamic parameters and related options 
The Cardiocap/5 Parameter unit (NESTPR) provides measurement of general hemodynamic 
parameters.  
 
Figure 6-1. Hemodynamic parameters measurement unit (NESTPR) 
NESTPR represents the measurement parameters listed below: 
N = Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) 
E = ECG...
