for neonates.

The monitor immediately begins a stepped deflation sequence and

determines systolic pressure, MAP (mean arterial pressure), diastolic

pressure and pulse rate from pulses induced in the cuff at the varied

pressure levels. This is the oscillometric method of determination and is

accomplished by a sensitive transducer which not only measures cuff

pressure, but also minute pressure oscillations within the cuff.

*Default alarm limits are limits generally found useful in normal clinical

situations. They should not be considered as safe limits for any

particular patient.

sequence initially pumps up to a cuff pressure of 178

when the cycle time has expired in the auto mode.

easy-to-

read digital displays. Determination interval can be selected by the

operator in varied increments between one and ninety minutes. Two

operating modes (auto and manual) are selectable to cover a variety

of clinical situations and up to 100 previous determinations are stored

in memory for recall and display.

Alarms are provided to alert the operator should systolic, diastolic, mean

arterial pressures or pulse rate values exceed default* or operator-set

high/low limits. The monitor provides external digital output for

connection to a host computer.

SECTION 4. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The DINAMAP’” Portable Monitor, Model 8100, is a fully portable,

microprocessor controlled, noninvasive device that automatically

measures systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure

(MAP), and pulse rate for neonates, children, and adults using the

oscillometric technique. Results are displayed on four large,
