Systolic pressure, Mean pressure, Diastolic pressure exceeds alarm limit. The users can adjust the
alarm limit by accessing NIBP Setup > Alarm Setup > Sys Alarm/Map Alarm/Dia Alarm.

This pneumatic test other than being specified in the EN 1060-1 standard is to be used by
the user to simply determine whether there are air leaks in the NIBP airway. If at the end
of the test the system gives the prompt that the NIBP airway has air leaks, please contact
the manufacturer for repair.

system will automatically open the deflating valve, which marks the completion of a
pneumatic measurement.
