NBP Monitoring: Programming the Blood Pressure Monitor
The patient’s blood pressure is displayed for one minute on the blood
pressure monitor and for two hours on the CIC Pro. 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.
