Power ON Indicator: Iluminates green when the unit is
powered. (In order to conserve battery life, the petMAP will
automatically shut off after 10 minutes of “no use”).
Low Battery Indicator: The low battery indicator may
flash occasionally during a determination. This is a warning
for battery replacement. When the light remains illuminated,
battery replacement is required. Always replace both AAA
batteries at the same time to ensure proper performance.
Observe the proper orientation of the batteries, since the unit
will not function, and may potentially be damaged, if the
batteries are not inserted properly (See Section on Battery
Considerations).
Species & Cuff Site Settings: Used to select and display the
species (dog/cat) and cuff site (forearm, hind foot, tail).
petMAP may be used in the optimized mode or the
non-optimized mode as described below:
Optimized Mode: PPO for species and cuff site is
unique to petMAP. This feature provides determination
values with the best possible correlation to intra-arterial
pressures. These petMAP settings are called the
“Optimized” modes.
Previous generation BP measurement devices are not
specifically optimized to better correlate with direct
intra-arterial measurements in cats and dogs and for cuff
site. Consequently, they will typically read lower BPs
than the readings obtained with the petMAP, assuming
that the petMAP is set appropriately for the species and
the cuff site on which the BP measurement is being
made.
Non-Optimized Mode: If a user is more comfortable with
the lower readings because of what they have seen in
the past with older generation devices, the petMAP can
be set to display “non-optimized” values. This petMAP
mode will correlate better with the lower readings the
user is accustomed to seeing, but the values will not
correlate as well with intra-arterial pressures.
