Blood Pressure Measurements
A single blood pressure determination is made when the Blood Pressure
Start/Stop button is pushed.
To cancel a measurement cycle at any time, press the Blood Pressure Start/
Stop button again. This action immediately initiates a rapid cuff deflation.
The blood pressure measurement data appears on the display immediately following the mea-
surement, and remains displayed for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, the display goes blank, and the
device goes into standby mode. To recall the most recent blood pressure measurement, press
the Print, Mode, Next Patient/Clear or Blood Pressure Start/Stop button.
Maximum and Minimum Blood Pressure Ranges
The maximum and minimum blood pressure ranges are as follows:
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
The MAP ranges are 40 to 190mmHg, calculated from systolic and diastolic data (not directly
measured).
Temperature Operating Modes
Thermometry measurements are made with Welch Allyn SureTemp
™
technology. Oral and rectal
probes utilize single-use disposable probe covers that limit cross-contamination. Oral, axillary or
rectal temperatures are taken using Normal or Monitor operating modes. Oral and axillary tem-
peratures are taken using the blue oral probe. Rectal temperatures are taken using the red rectal
probe.
In Normal mode, the thermometer's microprocessor predicts body temperature in approximately
4 seconds for oral temperatures, 10 seconds for axillary temperatures, and 15 seconds for rectal
temperatures. When using Monitor mode, allow the temperature read out to stabilize for 3 min-
utes for oral and rectal temperatures, and 5 minutes for axillary temperatures. The Monitor mode
continues to display an updated temperature as long as the probe remains in place. Settings for
Fahrenheit or Celsius scales are available for the temperature readings display.
Measurement Maximum Minimum
Systolic Pressure 250 mmHg 60 mmHg
Diastolic Pressure 160mmHg 30 mmHg
