Stat intervals
You can configure the monitor to take NIBP measurements continuously.
When you select Stat on the Intervals tab in Settings, the monitor takes repeated NIBP
measurements for 5 minutes, starting a new cycle each time the cuff deflates below
safe venous return pressure (SVRP) for 2 seconds.
WARNING Patient injury risk. If you use Stat mode repeatedly, periodically
observe the patient's limb to ensure that circulation is not impaired and that
the cuff remains in place. Prolonged impairment of circulation or improper
cuff position can cause bruising.
Current cuff pressures are not dynamically displayed during a Stat reading. The Home
tab displays the NIBP reading from the previous cycle until the current cycle finishes.
Note Touch STOP to stop intervals. To restart intervals, go back to the Stat
intervals screen.
