The NIBP Menu. Selecting the NIBP Menu-Select Icon will bring up the NIBP Menu (See
Figure 4-7). This menu provides the operator with the ability to switch the Automatic Mode On and
OFF, set the automatic reading interval, set the Heart Rate source and bring up a Tabular Chart
containing a History of the NIBP and SpO2 determinations. This menu has a time-out feature. If no
action is taken for approximately 60 seconds, the monitor will automatically return to the Normal
Screen.
4.2.5 NIBP Menu Options. The following is a description of the operation of the NIBP Menu
options:
Figure 4-8. The NIBP INTERVAL Menu
a. INTERVAL. Selecting this menu option allows the operator to change the
automatic-measurement time interval setting (See Figure 4-8). The options are 1, 2,
2.5, 3 (default), 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 or 45 minutes, and 1, 2 or 4 hours. The INTERVAL
Menu is also accessed by pressing the NIBP INTERVAL key.
(1) There is a 20-second period in between the measurements to allow for
peripheral perfusion.
(2) As the Rotary Knob turns clockwise, the interval selection will increase. After
reaching “RETURN,” the interval selection will “roll over” to “1 MIN” and
continue to increase.
(3) As the Rotary Knob turns counter-clockwise, the interval selection will
decrease. After reaching “1 MIN,” the interval selection will “roll over” to
“RETURN” and continue to decrease.
b. AUTO MODE. Selecting this menu option allows the operator to switch the NIBP
Automatic Mode between ON and OFF (default). When switched from OFF to ON,
the operator must manually initiate the first reading (by pressing the NIBP START/
STOP control key); subsequent readings are taken automatically at the operator
selected interval. When in MANUAL mode, readings may only be initiated from the
NIBP START/STOP or NIBP STAT control keys. A reading cycle may be stopped
at any time if the NIBP START/STOP control key is pressed while it is in progress
