• the next cycle begins, if the monitor is still in automatic NIBP mode
• two minutes pass
• is pressed again
The automatic NIBP cycles continue until one of the following occurs:
• The monitor reaches the 5-minute limit for a STAT measurement. (The current
cycle continues to completion, even if it goes beyond the 5-minute limit.)
• The monitor halts because is pressed.
• The monitor halts because of an alarm, alert, or error condition.
• The interval code is changed to ‘- -’.
If an error is detected during the measurement, an error tone sounds and an error code
appears in the SYS window.
MAP measurement
MAP is available for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. The monitor is set at the
factory to enable MAP display and alarm limit checking for neonatal patients, and to
disable those functions for adult and pediatric patients.
If MAP is enabled, the monitor displays MAP readings in the message window at the end
of NIBP measurements.
How changing the patient type affects MAP defaults
When you cycle power to the monitor, the monitor stores all current settings before
shutting down. It then uses these saved settings when it powers up again. (This does not
affect the factory default settings.)
Whenever you enable or disable MAP for a given patient type—Adult, Pediatric,
Neonatal—the current enabled/disabled setting becomes the default power-up setting for
that patient type.
Note If the first cycle does not produce a measurement, the monitor retries the
measurement using a target pressure calculated from the results of the previous
cycle.
Note The latest NIBP measurement is displayed until one of the following occurs:
• the next NIBP cycle starts
• an alarm, alert, or error occurs
• the monitor shuts down
