Continuous measurements
In continuous mode, the M540 continuously
initiates NIBP measurements over a 5-minute
period.
A 10 second (±1 second) minimum interval
between the end of one measurement and the start
of another provides minimal perfusion of the limb.

Continuous non-invasive blood pressure mode
prevents you from enabling venous stasis.
