9.4.4 *Auto Measurement

To perform an auto measurement,
1 Select the setup key
2 Select Mother > Cycle.
3 Select a time interval from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 and 480
minutes.
4 Select OK.
5 Press NIBP key on the front panel to start an Auto measurement.
NOTE:
The monitor checks uterine contract (UC) pressure when the NIBP key is pressed. If the
UC is over 50, a prompt "Intense UC, can't measure NIBP now." is issued, and the
monitor will check the UC every 30 seconds. The monitor will measure NIBP only when
the UC is lower than 50, and it will then start timing for the Auto measurement.
To stop the current measurement,
Press the NIBP key anytime during the current measurement to stop it. Another measurement
will start after the time interval.
Prolonged NIBP measurements in automatic mode may be associated with purplish
patches, ischemia and neurologic damage in the limb wearing the cuff. When monitoring
a patient, examine the extremities of the limb frequently for normal color, warmth and
sensitivity. If any abnormality is observed, stop the NIBP measurement.
