5 Measurement Settings
41
Start Time
If you set Start Time to Synchronized, the monitor will time the second and subsequent measurements
in a series to coincide with the next easy-to-document time. For example, if you start the first
measurement at 08:23, and the
Repetition Time is set to 10 minutes, the monitor will automatically
perform the next measurement at 8:30, then 8:40 and so on.
VP Pressure
The VP Pressure setting determines the cuff pressure used during a Veni Puncture inflation. The cuff
deflates automatically after 170 seconds, if it is not manually deflated beforehand. Choices are from
20
mmHg
to 120 mmHg in steps of 5 mmHg.
Reference
The NBP measurement reference method can be Auscultatory or Invasive.
•
Auscultatory delivers NBP values that very closely approximate values measured using the manual
cuff method.
•
Invasive delivers NBP values that very closely approximate values measured intra-arterially.
The two references can exhibit a difference of 20 to 30 mmHg in patients with elevated pressures, with
the auscultatory reference registering the lower values.
For further information, see the Application Note on NBP.
Measurement Time
If Measurement Time is set to Timestamp, the time shown beside the numeric will show the time stamp
of the most recent measurement. If set to
Time to Next, and the mode of a measurement is set to Auto
or Sequence, the time until the next automatic measurement is shown, along with a graphic
representation of the remaining time.
NOTE
• If the numeric area on the monitor screen is configured large enough, the Timestamp or Time to
Next
will be displayed in the NBP segment. If this area is too small, the numeric may be shown
without the time.
• This setting is also accessible in
Main Setup > User Interface > Measurement Time.
Aging Time
The setting Aging Time determines the time after which the NBP numeric is aged. Choices are from
1min to maximum 24 h.
An aged numeric is presented as defined in the
Aged Numerics setting, see “Aged Numerics” on
page 62.
Automatic Start
Use the Automatic Start setting to define if a cableless NBP measurement cycle (Mode: Auto or Sequence
only) is started automatically after the NBP pod is plugged in the cradle.
Choices are:
•
Off
• Slow: starts the measurement cycle within 1 - 2 minutes
