BLOOD PRESSURE
Pressure range 0 - 300 mmHg
Accuracy +/- 4 mmHg
Calibration Pressure sensor must be calibrated to sphygmomanometer. See Preferences menu.
PULSE
Available pulses Carotid, Brachial, Radial and Umbilical (SimNewB)
Only 3 pulses can be palpated simultaneously. (Power considerations).
Palpated BP Radial pulse turns off at systolic BP.
Brachial pulse turns off at 20 mmHg, to prevent noise generation in auscultation area.
