Viewing real-time patient data

When the desired measurement interval is reached, press the START/STOP button.
The blood pressure monitor immediately begins a measurement cycle. It will attempt
one retry if the first measurement cycle fails.
Measurements are taken at the selected interval. A measurement may be initiated in
between intervals by pressing the START/STOP button. This wakes up the blood
pressure monitor from sleep mode, and offers the option to change the measurement
interval as described above, as well as the option to view the time left until the next
measurement. A manual measurement is initiated by pressing the START/STOP
button a second time. The next measurement will then be taken at the scheduled
interval (X number of minutes) after the manual measurement is complete.
The patient’s blood pressure is displayed for one minute on the blood pressure
monitor and for two hours on the CIC Pro center. The blood pressure reading is
updated each time a measurement is successfully completed.
Measurements are taken at the selected interval until the blood pressure monitor is
turned off, or until the monitor determines that the batteries are too weak for
additional measurements.
A measurement may be stopped by pressing the START/STOP button while the
measurement is in progress.
Setting test parameters
The maximum and minimum inflation pressures, dynamic or fixed inflate, and deflate
rate can be adjusted. Follow these steps:
1. Turn the blood pressure monitor on while holding down the NO – button. The
display shows:
CHANGE TEST
PARAMETERS?
2. Press the YES + button to change the parameters.
3. The MAXIMUM PRESSURE can be set to: 250, 240, 230, 220, 210, 200, 190,
180, 170, 160, 150, 140, 130, 120, 110, or 100 mmHg using the YES + and NO –
buttons. A setting of 200 to 250 mmHg is recommended for the maximum cuff
inflation pressure.
4. When the maximum pressure has been set, press the NEXT button to set the
MINIMUM PRESSURE. It can be set to: 100, 90, 80, 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20, or
10 mmHg using the YES + and NO – buttons. A setting of 40 mmHg is
recommended for the minimum cuff deflate pressure.
5. When the minimum pressure has been set, press the NEXT button to select
DYNAMIC INFLATE or FIXED INFLATE. Press the YES + button to turn
dynamic inflate on, or press the NO – button for fixed inflate.
When dynamic inflate is turned on, the blood pressure cuff inflation pressure
automatically ranges 30 mmHg above the most recent systolic reading.
Fixed inflate always inflates the blood pressure cuff to the set maximum inflation
pressure.
