R SERIES — NON-INVASIVE BLOOD PRESSURE (NIBP) OPTION INSERT
16 www.zoll.com 9650-0914-01 Rev. C
Setting Alarms
The R Series NIBP option includes blood pressure alarms for the measurements shown in the
following table.
Before taking a measurement, ensure that all the NIBP alarms settings are appropriate for the
situation. See the R Series Operator’s Guide for instructions on setting alarms. When an NIBP
or heart rate alarm is triggered, the unit automatically initiates a single blood pressure
measurement. See the R Series Configuration Guide for instructions on how to enable/disable
this automatic measurement.
When the R Series unit is turned on, all alarm functions are disabled, and the alarm limits are
set to their default values for the selected patient type. Any changes to these settings remain in
effect until either the settings are changed for the patient type or for 10 seconds after the
R Series unit is turned off. You can configure the default alarm limits at power-up; see the
R Series Configuration Guide for more information.
Setting Alarm Limits
You can change all the alarm limits using standard R Series procedures. See the RSeries
Operator’s Guide for instructions on setting alarm limits.
