Taking Automatic NBP Measurements Using NBP Intervals
You can configure and use up to five NBP interval programs based on your unit-specific
protocols. Your system administrator can preconfigure one or more of these programs,
but you can change them as needed. Your system administrator can also set one
program as a default. The default program is always selected when you first open the
Interval Settings menu or the Continuous Settings menu.
NBP Interval Program enables you to specify up to five sequential periods of automatic
NBP measurements. For each period, you select a duration (ranging from 5 minutes to 5
hours) and an interval. The available interval range is determined by the selected
duration.
To configure an NBP interval program
Caution
To prevent your NBP interval program settings from being disabled, it is critical that you admit your
patient before setting an NBP interval program. When you admit a new patient, any previously
configured NBP auto interval or interval program is canceled. Therefore, if you admit a patient after
setting the interval program, automatic NBP measurements will not be taken unless you set the
interval program again.
