WARNING: Turning alarms off prevents all alarms associated with the NBP measurement from being
annunciated. If an alarm condition occurs, no alarm indication is announced.
NOTES: NBP alarms are on unless you specifically turn them off or alarms for the entire device are off. Once
disabled, alarms remain off until they are turned back on. The Efficia DFM100 allows you to adjust
alarm notifications.
Taking a manual NBP measurement also acknowledges any latched NBP alarm from the previous
measurement.
Caring for Cuffs
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for care and cleaning of your NBP cuffs. To get the best
results from your cuffs, handle them with care and protect them from sharp objects.
Troubleshooting
If your Efficia DFM100 does not operate as expected during NBP Monitoring, see Table 54 “NBP
Problems” on page 191.
