13-8 Infinity Vista VF6
13 NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE
As soon as you turn the interval mode on, the monitor starts an
NBP measurement. A bar graph appears in the NBP parameter box
to indicate the time left until the start of the next measurement.
In addition to measurements in the automatic cycle, you can take a
single measurement at any time. However, if the bar graph empties
before the end of your single NBP measurement, the next
automatic NBP measurement occurs only when the bar graph empties again. As a
result, the monitor skips one interval measurement.
If the monitor detects an error (while the NBP alarm is on), any attempts to take NBP
measurements (single or at intervals) generate an error tone. For more information,
see the chapter Alarms and Messages.
