Stat Mode
Multiple BP readings can be taken at any time by pressing
the Stat key (13). If a Manual determination is not in
progress, a 5-minute series of determinations will start. If a
Manual determination is in progress, that determination will
become the first in the series. A normal, uninterrupted Stat
sequence will give the first set of systolic, diastolic, and
mean arterial pressure values and pulse rate within 15 to 20
seconds. Pressing the Stat key (13) during a series of Stat
determinations will cancel the determination in progress
and the rest of the series. BP information will be displayed
on the LED until the determination has been canceled or
completed. This applies to Stat mode only.
Notes
• Because the Stat key is an on-off switch, it can be used
at any time to cancel a Stat determination.
• Pressing the BP key during a series of Stat
determinations will also cancel the determination in
progress and the rest of the series.
The series begins with cuff inflation to a pressure above the
previous systolic pressure or, if no previous systolic value is
stored, to approximately 180 mmHg for adult/pediatrics.
The initial target pressure selection for neonates has a
maximum pressure of 120 mmHg. Artifact rejection is
relaxed in the Stat mode for adult/pediatric patients to allow
for accelerated determinations. If a BP or a Stat reading has
been made previously, the first new systolic value will flash
on the LED display (14) within a few seconds and will
continue to flash until the end of the determination. At that
point a short tone will sound and the updated systolic,
diastolic, and mean arterial pressures and pulse rate will
appear on their LED displays (14, 15, 16, 18). The Monitor
will begin another determination once the pressure is below
5 mmHg for 8 seconds (neonates) or 15 mmHg for 4
seconds (adults), unless the 5-minute period has ended or
the determination has been canceled.
