NOTE: If the DEFLATE key (36) is pressed, it will take 10 seconds before another
measurement can be taken. The START NIBP INDICATOR
(39) will be illuminated,
when ready.
NOTE: When in the Interval mode and the Room/Bed is changed, the interval mode is
suspended (interval indicator flashes) until the NIBP Start key is pressed.
1.3.4.2 Changing the Interval Setting
If the interval time is changed while the Accutorr Plus is in the interval mode, the new
interval time is used once it is entered. For example: The interval time is set to 60
minutes. Thirty minutes have elapsed since the last timed automatic measurement and
the interval time is changed to 10 minutes. Once the interval time is entered, the
Accutorr Plus will take an automatic NIBP measurement in 10 minutes and then once
every 10 minutes.
1.3.4.3 Effects of Changing the Room Number and/or Bed Letter on
the Interval Setting
'When the Room Number and/or Bed Letter is changed, the interval setting will remain
the same. NOTE: The interval setting can be changed if required. Also, ifan NIBP
measurement is in progress, the measurement will stop and the cuff will deflate. The
timed interval measurements will not activate again (interval indicator flashes) until the
START NIBP key (38) is pressed.
1.3.4.4 START and DEFLATE Functions
The START NIBP and DEFLATE functions have the following effects on the timed
measurement
sequence.
e@ INTERVAL mode is active and the START NIBP key (38) is pressed causing an
unscheduled measurement to be taken. Taking this unscheduled measurement does not
affect the timing of the interval cycle, therefore, the scheduled measurements will still be
taken as if there were no interruptions. Only one measurement is taken for each
measurement cycle - even if the unscheduled measurement coincides with the scheduled
measurement.
e@ INTERVAL mode is active and the DEFLATE key (36) is pressed. The INTERVAL
INDICATOR (35) flashes. No additional measurements will be taken until the START
NIBP key (38) is pressed. If a timed measurement is in progress, the measurement is
suspended and the cuff deflates.
e@ INTERVAL mode is active and the interval time is changed. The measurement cycle is
reset with the new interval. A measurement will be taken after the new interval time has
elapsed.
