• The monitor inflates the cuff.
• The SYS window dynamically displays the current cuff pressure.
• When the NIBP cycle is completed, a tone sounds and the NIBP measurement
results are displayed in the SYS, DIA, and pulse rate windows.
• If MAP is enabled, MAP results are displayed in the message window.
The measurement display persists for two minutes or until another NIBP cycle is
initiated. If an error is detected, an error tone sounds and an error code appears in
the SYS window.
Automatic NIBP measurement
Automatic NIBP measurements repeat continuously at programmed intervals.
Note If the message ‘CAL’ appears in the message window when you attempt to start
an NIBP cycle, it means that the NIBP measurement system is self-calibrating to
a zero baseline and is temporarily unavailable (for up to 30 seconds). The
requested NIBP cycle begins when the calibration is complete. However, the cuff
must remain stationary for at least 15 seconds for the calibration to complete.
Note If the SpO
2
sensor is attached and generating valid pulse rate data, then the
displayed pulse rate is derived from the SpO
2
sensor reading.
