Blood Pressure Measurements
A single blood pressure determination is made when the blood pressure START/STOP button is
pushed.
A measurement cycle may be cancelled at any time by pressing the BP START/STOP button again.
This action immediately initiates a rapid cuff deflation.
The blood pressure measurement data will appear on the display immediately following the
measurement and remain displayed for two minutes. After two minutes, the display goes blank, and
the device will go into standby mode. The most recent BP measurement may be recalled by pressing
the Print, Mode, Next Patient/Clear or BP Start/Stop button.
Max/Min Blood Pressure Ranges
The maximum and minimum ranges of blood pressure are detailed below:
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)
Ranges 40 - 190mmHg
Calculated from Systolic and Diastolic data (not directly measured).
Temperature Operating Modes
Thermometry measurements are made with the Welch Allyn SureTemp technology. Oral and rectal
™
probes utilize single-use disposable probe covers that limit cross-contamination. Oral, axillary or
rectal temperatures are taken using 'Normal or 'Monitor operating modes. Axillary temperatures are
taken using the (blue) oral probe.
