Note
See Chapter 5, Autosequences, for a complete explanation of
working with prompts. You can turn individual prompts on or
off and rename prompts six through eight (6-8) from the list
above. Chapter 6, Customize Your medTester 5000C, explains how
to customize prompts.
Test Sequence
After you input pretest prompt information, NIBP tests execute in the order
described below:
Set the CuffLink serial port baud rate to 2400. The medTester uses the 2400
baud rate on COM2 for all communications with the CuffLink during an
autosequence.
At the beginning of an NIBP autosequence, the medTester checks to make
sure that a CuffLink is connected to COM2. If none is detected, you can still
go through the sequence in a simulation mode for demonstration purposes.
Each autosequence can contain up to ten NIBP tests. After those, several
special tests will be performed if they have been programmed into the
autosequence.
NIBP TESTS
For each of the NIBP test steps, 1 through 10, the medTester prompts you
through the step and controls the CuffLink to perform the test.
First, the medTester sets up the CuffLink for the test and displays the test
parameters:
Step
No.
Basic Blood Pressure Target Value
Envelope shift
Heart Rate
Envelope Gain
The medTester prompts you to “RUN NIBP MEASUREMENT”. You
should ensure that the NIBP monitor is correctly connected to the CuffLink
and then run the measurement.
When the medTester detects that the measurement is complete, it displays
“CuffLink DONE”. If satisfied that the test was good, you can then press F5
“CONTINUE” or if not, press F4 “REPEAT” to repeat the test.
