NIBP: NIBP Modes of Operation
NIBP Modes of Operation
The V100 Monitor has three NIBP modes:
1. Manual
2. Auto cycle
3. Stat
The mode is selected by the user. NIBP determinations are automated and, upon
completion, the values for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, mean arterial
pressure, and pulse rate (if SpO
2
is not active) are shown in their respective
windows.
Manual NIBP Determinations
Manual mode is always the NIBP mode of operation upon power-up. A normal,
uninterrupted Manual determination takes about 40 seconds. Following a
determination, the cuff pressure must drop below 5 mmHg (neonate) or 15
mmHg (adult) before another determination can be started.
Manual NIBP determinations are started by pressing the Inflate/Stop button. To
stop a Manual NIBP determination press the Inflate/Stop button. The values
displayed in the Systolic, Diastolic, MAP, and Pulse Rate (if SpO
2
is not active)
windows are cleared after 30 minutes have lapsed.
Auto Cycle Determinations
Auto cycle mode automatically starts determinations at user-defined intervals.
In the auto cycle mode, the pressure must be below 5 mmHg (neonate) or 15
mmHg (adult) for at least 30 seconds before the next auto determination will be
started.
Auto cycle mode is started by selecting the Cycle button. When in auto cycle
mode, the AUTO CYCLE indicator appears solid green. Manual determinations
can be taken while in auto cycle mode without affecting when the next auto
determination is to start. You can also change the time interval while in auto
cycle mode.
Once the Cycle button is pressed, the first auto cycle determination is started,
and the time between determinations appears in the min window. Successive
presses of the Cycle button show selections of: Stat, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30,
60, 90, 120 (minutes), and - - (two dashes). When you reach the desired time
interval, do not press the Cycle button again; after 2 seconds, the chosen time
interval is retained and remains in the min window and the main monitoring
screen is displayed.
Pressing the Cycle button when in auto cycle mode activates cycle mode again
with two dashes (- -) appearing in the min window. If you press the Cycle button
immediately after the first press, the next time interval appears in the min
window. If you do not press the Cycle button immediately after the first press,
