13.4 Measurement Methods
There are four methods of measuring NIBP:
Manual
- measurement on demand.
Auto
- continually repeated measurements (between 1 and 480 minute adjustable interval).
The interval can be user defined, and the default interval of user defined is 2.5 minutes. After
the first measurement starts manually, the monitor will automatically measure NIBP as preset
interval. When the measurement interval is set to 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 90
min, 120 min, 180 min, 240 min, 360 min and 480 min, the system will automatically adjust
the next measurement time. Here’s an example.

When the completion time of manual measurement to the first hourly time is less than or equal to
30 seconds, the measurement will not be performed at the first hourly time, and the first
automatic measurement will be delayed to the next hourly time.
Continuous
- the measurement will run consecutively in five minutes, then the monitor
enters manual mode.
Sequence
- after the first measurement starts manually, NIBP measurements run
automatically according to the preset phase and interval. The phase can be selected as
4
,
5
and
6
. The interval can be set as
