A relativelyflat temperature curve
during the two– minute time period
before cuff occlusion usually
indicatesstability.
Cold Room Red flag indicates that the room
temperature was below 22 °C for
some time during the test. A cold
room may cause the subject to enter a
vasoconstrictive state, and this may
adversely affect the test results. Or
The room temperature sensor shows
above 32 centigrade or 89.6
Fahrenheit which is not optimal for
this test. This flag is raised when the
difference betweenthe right finger
temperature and roomtemperature is
not sufficient. It indicates thatthe
finger temperature and the
roomtemperature had a difference of
less than 3°C.This implies that the
right finger temperaturedoes not have
enough room to fall duringocclusion.
This situation could occur in the
casesof either a very high room
temperature or a low start finger
temperature.
In this condition, there is not enough
temperature difference between
fingertip and room. Not enough
temperature drop will be created to
make sure the test result is accurate.
Recommendation: maintain a stable
room temperature above 24°C or 75°F
and less than 32 °C or 89.6 °F at all
times.
Fluctuating RoomTemperature Redflagindicates that the room
temperature varied more than1 °C
