SAVE RESULTS
- Previously saved results can be displayed by pressing the “Load” button under “Results.”
- Placing the cursor on a desired measurement and pressing OK will load the recorded pressure, pulse curves and
previously calculated results.
- After loading is complete, you can easily evaluate the results and re-analyze any measurements.

- Power off the unit by switching the power button on the back
TROUBLESHOOTING
Tail Pulse signals are not regular.
The animal may be under stress, resulting in excessive tail movement. Remove the animal from the
RESTRAINER holder until it calms down before continuing with the experiment.
The tail may not be sufficiently warmed or cooled down. Put the animal in the Tail Heater Chamber
and repeat the heating process. Make sure the tail temperature is 32 C.
Tail Cuff sizing may be incorrect. Check Table 5 on the following page for sizing descriptions.
Tail Cuff Sensor position may be incorrect. Try re-attaching the sensor in a different location on the
tail. The optimal location is between the mid-point of tail and base of tail (spinal column).
Compressor is working continuously.
Immediately turn off the NIBP system.
Remove the Tubing from the Cuff connector on the panel of NIBP system
Turn the system back on.
Close the air outlet by pressing the finger on the Cuff output and press the “Start” button. The
compressor will work for a few seconds and stop (please inform BIOPAC if the Compressor does not
stop). The pressure chart should be viewable on the screen.
If the Compressor stops automatically, it means that the system is working normally.
There is leakage in the tubing connections and Cuff of the IRSENSOR.
Make sure the tubing is securely attached.
