Speed Selection; Animal Selection - UGO BASILE 58500 Instruction Manual

UGO BASILE - I
UP/DOWN
the pressure measurements are taken during
the compression phase (UP) and the decom-
pression (DOWN) phase;
DIA/SYS the instrument is set to record both diastolic &
diastolic pressure;
SYS the instrument measures the systolic pressure
only.
By depressing F1 (MEA) in repeti-
tion, the operator selects the desired
mode according to the following four
combinations:-
6.1.2

Speed Selection

Now, let us consider the speed (F2 SPE). There are two speeds: first, the speed at which the
pressure increases, obviously proportional to the traverse speed of the piston (see paragraph
2.1-Pressure Generator System). For a first run, you should select :
SPEED 1 of 10 mm Hg/second
or
SPEED 2 of 20 mm Hg/second.
The second speed refers to the chart motion (in millimetres per second):
L low, of 5 mm/s (SPEED 1) or 10 mm/s (SPEED 2)
and
H high, of 10 mm/s (SPEED 1) or 20 mm/s (SPEED 2)
Via the appropriate speed selection, the pressure graph (see Figure 3 "Sample of a Graph") does
not appear too thin or too tight.
This is far from being a simple question of look! As we will see, an appropriate tightness of the
graph (see displays at pages 18/19) helps the operator to pinpoint the systolic pressure with ex-
actitude.
6.1.3

Animal Selection

Depress the F3 (ANI) key in succession. On the bottom line you will read:
DOG – RAT – RAT/M
The instrument automatically adjusts the pulse amplifier to the appropriate sensitivity. Moreover,
it modifies the parameters of electronic filter according to the size of the animal.

RAT/M means a very small rat or an unusually large mouse
