Manual Mode
To start a determination, press the BP key (12). A normal,
uninterrupted Manual cycle takes about 40 seconds. The
cuff pressure must drop below 5 mmHg (neonate) or 15
mmHg (adult) before another determination can be started.
BP information will be displayed for 2 minutes on the LED
unless another determination is started within that time
frame. This applies to Manual and Vitals modes. After
power-off, the operating mode returns to the default setting
of Manual. The default setting of Manual can be overridden
to return to the previous user-selected setting (Auto or
Manual) by selecting Set BP under the Service menu.
Note: The BP key is an on-off switch; pressing it will stop
any BP determination (Manual, Auto, or Stat) that is in
progress.
Auto Mode
If the Quik BP menu is enabled (Refer to “Quik BP” in the
“Using the Menu System” section.), Auto BP determinations
are started by selecting the Auto button. If the Quik BP
menu is disabled, Auto BP determinations are started by
selecting the Auto button under the Set BP button in the
Main menu.
When Auto mode is selected, a number at the right of the
Auto button indicates the time interval between each
reading. To change the time interval, choose the box around
the number and turn the SelectKnob until the desired
interval is reached. The interval can be set between 1 and
90 minutes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, and 90
minutes). Press the SelectKnob to confirm the setting. After
power-off, the operating mode returns to the default setting
of Manual. The default setting of Manual can be overridden
to return to the previous user-selected setting (Auto or
Manual) by selecting Set BP under the Service menu.
In the Auto mode, the pressure must be below 5 mmHg
(neonate) or 15 mmHg (adult) for at least 30 seconds
before another determination can be started. BP
information will be displayed on the LED until the next
determination is started. This applies to Auto mode only.
