Artifact rejection is relaxed in the Stat mode for
adult/pediatric patients to allow for accelerated
determinations. If a BP or Stat reading has been made
previously, the first new systolic value will flash
on the LED
display (7) 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
30
mmHg
for adult/pediatrics.
The initial target pressure selection for neonates is 110
20
seconds. Selecting the
Stat button 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.
The series begins with cuff inflation to a pressure above the
previous systolic pressure or, if no previous systolic value is
stored, to approximately 160
15
to
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.
Note: To cancel an Auto BP determination, select the
Manual button in
the Set BP menu (UK: BP Mode).
Stat Mode
Multiple
BP readings can be taken at any time by selecting
the Stat button under the Set
BP button (UK: BP Mode) in
the Main menu. Stat mode can also be accessed by
pressing the AUTO
BP key (27) and then selecting the Stat
button when the Set BP menu (UK: BP Mode) appears.
If a Manual determination is not in progress, a S-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
mmHg
(neonate) or 15
120 minutes). Press the rotor 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 (UK: BP Mode) under the
Service menu.
In the Auto mode, the pressure must be below 5
