NBP Monitoring: Programming the Blood Pressure Monitor
Programming the Blood Pressure Monitor
The blood pressure measurement interval, the maximum and minimum
inflation pressures, dynamic or fixed inflate, and the deflate rate can all
be adjusted on the Accutracker DX blood pressure monitor. Follow the
instructions below to set these options.
Setting the Measurement Interval
When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, it performs a battery
voltage check, then the display shows the following:
INT= 5 (***)
INCR DECR START?
NOTE
The number 5 above represents any measurement interval, including
MAN (manual). When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, the
number displayed is the last measurement interval set as the
default.
Use the YES + button or the NO – button on the blood pressure monitor
to increase or decrease the interval (INT) at which the blood pressure
readings are taken.
The available measurement intervals are: MAN (manual), or 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 90, 120, or 240 minute intervals.
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.
