takes another measurement, waits another 15 minutes,
and so on.
To take automatic measurements at set intervals, you
must:
1. Set the measurement interval (if not set to desired
value).
2. Start automatic measurements.
Setting the Measurement Interval
Before you take automatic measurements, ensure that
the measurement interval is properly set. The
measurement interval is the time period between when
one measurement starts and the next measurement
starts. The measurement interval options (in minutes)
are: 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, and
120.
When you turn on the E Series unit, the measurement
interval is set to the default value of 30 minutes. To
change the default, see the E Series Configuration
Guide.
To set measurements intervals:
1. Press the Auto Interval softkey from the NIBP menu.
If the Auto Interval softkey is not displayed, see
“Displaying the NIBP Menu” on page 8.
The E Series unit displays the Auto Interval menu:
2. Press the Dec or the Inc softkey to scroll through the
interval options.
3. Press the Return softkey to select the desired
measurement interval and return to NIBP menu.
The measurement interval sets and remains until
10 seconds after the E Series unit is turned off, or the
value is reset.
Starting Automatic Measurements
To start automatic measurements, either:
• Press the NIBP button and hold for two seconds (if
the unit is so configured), or
• Press the NIBP Auto softkey. If the NIBP Auto
softkey label is not displayed, see “Displaying the
NIBP Menu” on page 8.)
The E Series unit takes a measurement, and repeats
subsequent measurements at the selected interval.
Note that if the defibrillator is charged or charging when
the E Series unit is about to take an automatic
measurement, it aborts the blood pressure
measurement. All subsequent automatic measurements
take place at their scheduled time.
Taking an Additional Measurement
You can take an immediate measurement between the
automatic measurements except when:
• The E Series unit is currently taking a measurement.
• The defibrillator is charged or charging.
To take an additional measurement, press the NIBP
button.
The E Series unit takes an extra measurement without
altering the timing of the other measurements. It does
not start a new automatic measurement unless
30 seconds have elapsed since the end of the previous
completed measurement cycle. In this case, the E Series
unit omits the scheduled measurement.
Aborting a Single Measurement
When the E Series unit is taking automatic
measurements, you can stop a single blood pressure
measurement by pressing the NIBP button.
The E Series unit immediately stops taking the
measurement and deflates the cuff, but takes all
subsequent automatic measurements at their selected
interval.
Stopping All Automatic Measurements
You can stop all upcoming blood pressure
measurements. If the E Series unit is taking a
measurement, it completes the current measurement,
but does not take any subsequent measurements.
To stop automatic measurements, simply press the NIBP
Auto softkey. (If the NIBP Auto softkey label is not
displayed, see “Displaying the NIBP Menu” on page 8.)
Aborting Measurements
You can immediately abort a blood pressure
measurement at any time whether you are in MONITOR,
DEFIB or PACER mode.
To abort the current measurement:
• Press the NIBP button on the E Series front panel.
The E Series unit immediately stops taking the
measurement, displays the NIBP MEAS ABORTED
message, and deflates the cuff.

Make sure that a measurement has already started
before attempting to abort. If you press the NIBP
button while a measurement is not being taken, the
E Series unit starts a new measurement.
