The Upper Sys button is used to access the upper alarm limit for
systolic blood pressure. The programmable range for Upper Systolic
is 80 – 260 mm Hg. An alarm event occurs when the patient's
systolic pressure reaches or exceeds the set value.
The Lower Sys button is used to access the lower alarm limit for
systolic blood pressure. The programmable range for Lower Systolic
is 60 – 150 mm Hg. An alarm event occurs when the patient's
systolic pressure reaches or falls below the set value.
The Upper Dia button is used to access the upper alarm limit for
diastolic blood pressure. The programmable range for Upper Diastolic
is 80 – 200 mm Hg. An alarm event occurs when the patient's
diastolic pressure reaches or exceeds the set value.
The Lower Dia button is used to access the lower alarm limit for
diastolic blood pressure. The programmable range for Lower Diastolic
is 30 – 150 mm Hg. An alarm event occurs when the patient's
diastolic pressure reaches or falls below the set value.
The Upper Pulse button is used to access the upper alarm limit for
pulse rate. The programmable range for Upper Pulse is 80 – 180
beats/min. An alarm event occurs when the patient's pulse rate
reaches or exceeds the set value.
The Lower Pulse button is used to access the lower alarm limit for
pulse rate. The programmable range for Lower Pulse is 40 – 140
beats/min. An alarm event occurs when the patient's pulse rate
reaches or falls below the set value.
The Inflation Pressure button is used to set the initial inflation
pressure for the blood pressure cuff.
The default setting is "Auto". In the Auto mode, the cuff will initially
inflate to 180 mm Hg. For all subsequent readings, the cuff will inflate
to 50 mm Hg above the last systolic pressure reading for adults.
The minimum inflation pressure is 50 mm Hg. The maximum inflation
pressure is 300 mm Hg.
