NBP Measurements
Single Measurements
The monitor gives you two options for taking NBP measurements:
z Taking single NBP measurements.
z Selecting the Interval Mode to take NBP measurements automatically at
specific time intervals.
STEPS: Taking a Single NBP Measurement
1. Press the fixed key NBP Start/Stop. The cuff inflates.
2. Wait until the cuff deflates.
At the end of the measurement, the monitor emits an end-of-measurement tone (2
beeps), if the measurement tone is enabled in the NBP menu (see below). A time
stamp indicating the time of the measurement appears in the NBP parameter box.
To cancel an NBP measurement in progress, press
NBP Start/Stop again.
Interval Mode
The interval mode lets you program the monitor to initiate NBP measurements
automatically at specific intervals. The following time intervals are available:
z 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240
minutes (or OFF default).
NOTE: After an NBP measurement, the valves are opened to ensure that all residual
pressure is released from the cuff. During this process, it is normal for the NBP valves to
“chatter” for a few moments following the NBP measurement.
NOTE: The minimum time between the end of an automatic interval measurement
and the next automatic measurement is 30 seconds.
