Taking Automatic NBP Measurements Using NBP Intervals
6-16 EarlyVue VS30 Instructions for Use
To start NBP Auto Interval measurements after a delay
1 After selecting the interval in step 3 of the previous procedure, touch Done.
The measurement start is delayed. The menu closes and you are returned to the main
screen. The Interval icon in the upper right of the NBP numeric pane blinks to
indicate that the interval measurements have not been started.
2 When you want to start the interval measurements, do either of the following:
- Touch the Start NBP or Start QuickNBP button below the NBP numeric pane.
If your system administrator has enabled QuickNBP, and you start interval
measurements by touching the Start QuickNBP button, the first NBP interval
measurement is a QuickNBP. However, all subsequent interval measurements are
standard NPBs.
- Touch the Set Interval button below the NBP numeric pane to open the settings
menu, then touch the Start Interval button.
The menu closes and you are returned to the main screen, where the first interval
measurement is in progress.

Using NBP Interval Programs
You can set up NBP interval programs in either the Interval Settings menu or the
Continuous Settings menu, depending on the monitoring mode you want to use for
measurements. See “Accessing NBP Interval Settings” on page 6-14.
An NBP interval program comprises up to five sequential periods of automatic NBP
measurements to be taken on the current patient. Each period comprises a duration and
an interval. The duration defines the length of time for the period, during which the
measurements are taken at the specified interval. You can define one period, or up to five
periods.
If you define more than one period, the periods run sequentially. For example, suppose
that for the first period, you specify a duration of an hour and an interval of 15 minutes,
and for the second period, you specify a four hour duration and an interval of 30
minutes. In this example, NBP measurements are taken every 15 minutes for the first
hour, and every 30 minutes for the next four hours.
After each NBP measurement throughout the program, the NBP values and all other
available vital signs are saved to the patient record.
When all periods of the program have completed, measurements end and the NBP
Interval Program is turned off.
