Automatic measurement
This measurement starts or stops using the
measurement is started, the recorder begins to work in accordance with preset
time intervals from the preset time of the internal clock. Refer to "Selection for the
automatic measurement".
In the automatic measurement, an "A" appears in the upper left of the display.
The recorder automatically measures the patient's blood pressure at the time that is
pointed out by "the frequency" and "the start time" (by the programed time intervals).
When a measurement error occurs and there is 8 minutes until the next
measurement, the measurement is retried after approx. 30 seconds.
If a measurement is retried, only the data from the retry is saved.
The recorder automatically adjusts the proper pressure, exhaust velocity and end
of measurement.
Refer to "Selection for the automatic measurement" and "Automatic measurement by
programed time intervals" about operation and entering parameters.
Stopping a measurement
If you press the
air and stops the measurement.
Concealing the measurement value
This function works only while using automatic measurement.
This function does not display the SYS, DIA or pulse rate for the automatic
measurement, but the data is saved in memory.
This function can select "reveal" or "conceal" at "Parameters for the display and
clock". Refer to this section.
If you select "conceal", the recorder displays the clock during a measurement.
If you reset the recorder, this parameter is set to "reveal".
Pressurization
The pressure is automatically selected by the recorder while in the automatic
measurement mode.
The first pressure is set to approx. 185 mmHg. This value automatically varies to
the proper value after first measurement. If the first inflation is not successful, the
recorder retries twice.
If you reset the recorder, the first inflation value is set to 185 mmHg.
Memory
The recorder can store 300 sets of data (the memory capacity is 300).
A data set consists of a SYS, a DIA and a pulse rate.
When memory becomes full, the recorder displays an "M". Until you clear the data,
you can not measure blood pressure.
When the recorder saves data for more than one patient, data management
becomes complication. We encourage that a patient's data is recorded, transferred
and is cleared from memory.
