When you select the Stat option in the Intervals tab, 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 If you are in Stat intervals, you can stop intervals by touching . If you touch
the button twice, you will restart Stat intervals. The control toggles between STOP
and START with each touch.
