Setting the measurement interval
2001989-200E
CAUTION
The blood pressure monitor's safety and effectiveness in neonates
has not been established.
Blood pressure measurements may be affected by the patient's
position, physical condition, and other factors.
Do not use the blood pressure monitor if it has failed its diagnostic
self test or if it displays a pressure greater than zero with no cuff
attached. The values displayed by such a unit may be inaccurate.
If you must ship the Accutracker DX blood pressure monitor for
service or other reasons, place it in a sealable plastic bag, seal it
tightly, then package it in a cardboard box. Label the shipping
container –20 to +50° C and ship appropriately. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in device failure due to improper
shipping/storage conditions.
When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, it performs a battery voltage check,
then the display shows the following:
INT= 5 (***)
INCR DECR START?
NOTE
The number 5 above represents any measurement interval, including MAN
(manual). When the blood pressure monitor is turned on, the number displayed is
the last measurement interval set as the default.
Use the YES + button or the NO – button on the blood pressure monitor to increase or
decrease the interval (INT) at which the blood pressure readings are taken.
The available measurement intervals are: MAN (manual), or 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20,
25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 90, 120, or 240 minute intervals.
When the desired measurement interval is reached, press the START/STOP button.
The blood pressure monitor immediately begins a measurement cycle. It will attempt
one retry if the first measurement cycle fails.
Measurements are taken at the selected interval. A measurement may be initiated in
between intervals by pressing the START/STOP button. This wakes up the blood
pressure monitor from sleep mode, and offers the option to change the measurement
interval as described above, as well as the option to view the time left until the next
measurement. A manual measurement is initiated by pressing the START/STOP
button a second time. The next measurement will then be taken at the scheduled
interval (X number of minutes) after the manual measurement is complete.
The patient's blood pressure is displayed for one minute on the blood pressure
monitor and for two hours on the CIC Pro center. The blood pressure reading is
updated each time a measurement is successfully completed.
