Installation: Configuring the monitor
The monitor can operate in one of four modes: clinical, configuration, advanced
configuration, and service.
Clinical mode is the monitor's normal operating mode. While this mode is active,
alarm limits and a few other commonly used settings are adjustable. All
parameters are available for monitoring in this mode.
Configuration and advanced configuration modes display the software revision
and allow you to configure defaults for some settings that are available in
clinical mode, as well as some less commonly used settings that are only
adjustable in these modes. A fatal error history is also available in the advanced
configuration mode. No parameters are operable in these modes, therefore,
patient monitoring is suspended.
Configuration mode settings
Monitor settings such as HIGH/LOW alarm settings changed in the Clinical Mode
will not be retained after the monitor is powered off. To retain alarm and
parameter settings, the changes must be done in the configuration mode. Date/
Time settings are also entered in the configuration mode.
To enter the configuration mode: with the monitor off, press and hold the Menu
button at the same time as pressing and holding the On/Off button for 3
seconds. The monitor enters the configuration mode.
For a few seconds immediately after power up in this mode, the Systolic and
Diastolic windows display the major and minor version codes. The version codes
are numbers that represent the letters of the English alphabet, which are
designated to the currently loaded version of the monitor firmware (e.g., 1
indicates A, 2 indicates B, etc.).
At the same time, the NIBP Algorithm selected in the monitor is displayed in the
min (minutes display) window as follows:
AUSC if the monitor is configured with auscultatory NIBP Algorithm

STAT if the monitor is configured with DINAMAP SuperSTAT Algorithm

CLAS if the monitor is configured with DINAMAP Classic Algorithm

Also, the Temperature probe selected in the monitor is displayed in the
Temperature window as follows:
trb0 if the monitor is configured for Alaris Turbo Temp

trI if the monitor is configured for Alaris Tri-Site

tat if the monitor is configured for Exergen
