Blood Pressure Annotations
A blood pressure reading can print on any of the first three annotation lines—
depending on which printing line is available. A diamond marks the time of the
reading.
: An unfilled diamond indicates the reading was received from the monitor’s
built-in blood pressure parameter. The vital signs print below the diamond. See
Figure on page 11-8.
: An unfilled diamond with a slash indicates a blood pressure reading was
cancelled/delayed. The marks the time the reading was originally scheduled.
The annotation NIBP (D) prints below the marker. See Figure on page 11-8.
: A filled diamond indicates the reading was received from an external blood
pressure monitor connected to the 250cx Series Monitor. The vital signs print
below the diamond. (Contact your Service Representative for connectivity
information.)
If the top three printing lines are busy printing other data, the diamond prints at the
time of the reading; however, the vital signs data prints as soon as a line becomes
available.
