Using the Monitor
Noninvasive Blood Pressure Determination
Description
The BP parameter is included in Models 100V2, 200V2,
300V2, and 400V2. Blood pressure is monitored
noninvasively in the PRO Monitor by the oscillometric
method, which measures the amplitude of the pressure
oscillations within the blood pressure cuff. Further
information about the oscillometric method is in Appendix C.
The PRO Monitor has four BP modes: 1. Manual, 2. Auto,
3. Stat, and 4. Vitals (UK: All Obs). The mode, which is
selected by the user, is shown on the LCD (25). The BP
measurements are automatic, and once the cycle is
complete the LED displays (7, 9, 19, 22) show systolic
pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial pressure, and pulse
rate.
1. Manual BP determinations are started by pressing the
START/STOP BP key (29). In the Manual mode, the blood
pressure is determined one time.
2. Auto BP determinations are started by selecting the
AUTO BP key (27) or the Auto button under the Set BP
(UK: BP Mode) button in the Main menu.
When Auto mode is selected, a number at the right of the
Auto button indicates the time interval between each
reading. To change the time interval, choose the box
around the number and turn the rotor until the desired
interval is reached. The interval can be set between 1 and
120 minutes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, and
120 minutes). Press the rotor to confirm the setting.
3. Stat determinations are started by selecting the Stat
button under the Set BP button (UK: BP Mode) in the
Main menu. In the Stat mode, the blood pressure is
determined as many times as possible in 5 minutes.
4. Vitals (UK: All Obs) determinations are started by
selecting the Vitals (UK: All Obs) button in the Main
menu. (Refer to the “Using the Menu System” section.)
Selection of this button initiates a BP determination while
