Patient Instructions

If the cuff becomes uncomfortable during a reading, make certain that the patient knows how to termi-
nate the readings by pressing the STOP key on the front of the monitor.
If the cuff slips out of place, make certain that the patient knows how to correctly reposition the cuff for
successful readings. If the cuff is not properly positioned, event codes may appear on the monitor.
Note:
The patient should make every effort to keep the monitor dry. However, there is no hazard if the
monitor does get wet. If this occurs, power the monitor OFF and return it to Spacelabs Healthcare
for service.

Data Transfer and Reports

After monitoring is complete, connect the monitor to either a PC Direct or Base Station interface to
transmit patient data and generate blood pressure reports. Refer to the 90121 ABP Report Manage-
ment System (P/N 070-0137-00), the 92506 ABP Report Management System Client Application (P/N
070-00932-00), or the 90239 ABP Report Generator (P/N 070-0399-03) Operations Manuals for more
details.
Note:
Any pulse rate obtained from the ABP cuff should be used only as a guideline for the heart rate.
