This menu allows you to select the appropriate type of patient when monitoring, as several
parameters including NIBP cuff inflation pressure, pulse sensitivity and all alarm limits, defaults
and ranges, can vary depending on this selection.
ANSI/AAMI SP10:2008, the American National Standard for manual, electronic, or automated
sphygmomanometers, defines patient type according to the following age limitations:

To adjust the patient type, follow these steps:

made to use another patient type or measurement technique.
