Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor 90217 Service Manual

User Controls

The 90217 ABP monitor provides two user controls: a START/STOP button and a Power ON/OFF
switch.
Power ON/OFF Switch
When turned ON, this switch activates the monitor and begins executing the timed blood pressure
program.
START/STOP Button
This front panel control manually starts a blood pressure measurement, stops a measurement
already in progress, or sets special modes of operation (refer to the 90207, 90217 Ambulatory
Blood Pressure Monitors Operations Manual, P/N 070-0137-xx).

Display

The monitor display is a 4-digit LCD that presents the following information (refer to the 90217
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors, Operations Manual (P/N 070-0137-xx) for instructions on
use).
Systolic/Diastolic Pressure and Heart Rate
Patient information appears on the display sequentially with systolic first, diastolic next, and then
heart rate. Each parameter appears for approximately one second. The screen is blanked for one
second and the sequence of readings is re-displayed two more times.
A bar indicator at the left of the display identifies which parameter is currently being displayed. It
appears next to the "sys" for systolic, next to "dia" for diastolic pressure, and next to the heart
symbol for heart rate.
