The blood pressure monitor allows telemetry monitoring of a patient’s NBP data. The
blood pressure cuff is connected to the blood pressure monitor, which measures and
displays systolic and diastolic blood pressures using the auscultatory method. Digital
values are also displayed at the CIC Pro center, and stored in Graphic Trends and
Vital Signs.

The START/STOP button starts and stops blood pressure readings. During the
monitoring period, it can be used by the patient at the clinician’s discretion. Pressing
the START/STOP button once while a patient is being monitored wakes up the blood
pressure monitor from sleep mode and offers the options to change the measurement
interval, view the time left until the next measurement, or perform a manual reading
by pressing the START/STOP button a second time.
Battery installation
The blood pressure monitor contains an internal lithium battery capable of sustaining
a maximum, cumulative period of 9 months (6400 hours) without AA alkaline
batteries installed, over the life of the monitor. The four AA alkaline batteries will last
for approximately 250 blood pressure readings, taken at an average interval of 15
minutes.
If the lithium battery is completely drained, the unit will not function. The internal
lithium battery is not user replaceable. The unit must be returned for service if the
lithium battery needs to be replaced.
For optimum performance, follow these guidelines:
Store with four good AA alkaline batteries installed.
Change the batteries when the message Low Batt displays.
Install four new batteries when you begin monitoring a patient.
Install new batteries and replace them every four months for long-term storage.
Service the lithium battery every three to five years.
To install four new AA alkaline batteries:
1. Locate the battery cover on the back of the monitor.
2. Press down and gently slide off the cover.
