Displaying New or Previous Readings
The current (or latest) NIBP reading taken may be displayed when the NIBP
parameter is enabled and the 90217 ABP monitor is correctly setup. The current
reading is displayed just below the isoelectric line showing systolic, diastolic, and
mean values with the time of the reading. The displayed values are replaced by
??? when no valid values have been acquired from the 90217.
The previous NIBP readings may be displayed using the Tabular Trend or
Graphic Trend monitor functions. The parameter trend information is collected
from the module on a minute-by-minute basis and stored in system memory for
retrieval. The collected NIBP trend readings may be displayed in the same
manner as any other monitored parameter. Refer to Trends on page 26-3 for more
information.
NIBP Alarm Message Summary
The 90217 ABP monitor provides an extensive set of result codes that indicate the
status of the monitor and the potential causes of an inability to take a valid
reading.
When any alarm message is displayed, the NIBP parameter value is immediately
changed to ??? and an alarm is triggered. If your module has been configured for
an alarm using the Module Configuration Manager, the parameter display will
blink yellow for Low and Medium priority alarms, and will blink red for High priority
alarms. The alarm condition will persist until a new NIBP reading is taken. (Refer
to Module Configuration Manager on page 7-5 for more information).
The monitor displays the following messages to provide ABP status information to
the caregiver. These messages summarize the 90217 event codes. Some of
these messages include an event code in parentheses to provide more detailed
analysis of the event. A complete list of the event codes can be found in the
90207/90217 ABP Monitors Operations Manual, P/N 070-0137-xx.
Telemetry products display their error messages within ECG’s display zone, so
the following ECG alarm messages take priority over other NIBP messages.
• LEADS OFF
• NOISY SIGNAL
• ECG ALARMS SUSPENDED
NIBP UNAVAILABLE (xx)
Displayed when the 90217 ABP monitor has detected an internal condition,
