NBP Auto
WARNING
Periodically check patient limb circulation distal to the cuff.
Check frequently when using auto NBP in 1 and 2 minute
intervals. Intervals below 10 minutes are not recommended for
extended periods of time.
This option allows you to program the monitor to automatically take NBP
measurements at specific time intervals.
Follow this procedure:
1. Select NBP AUTO option from the NBP Menu. A popup menu opens
showing all choices.

2. Rotate the Trim Knob control to move the pointer (>) to the desired
time interval.
The change will not be in effect until the Trim Knob control is
pressed and the popup menu closed.
NOTE: The NBP AUTO program is a timed cycle. If, when first
turned on, it is set to run at 5-minute intervals, the cuff
inflates immediately and then every 5 minutes
thereafter. If you change the timing interval (i.e., 15
minutes) without turning AUTO off, the timing cycle
does not start over. The next cuff inflation will occur 15
minutes after the last inflation and every 15 minutes
thereafter. Turning AUTO off and then on again restarts
the timing cycle with an immediate cuff inflation.
3.
Press the Trim Knob control to confirm the change and close the popup
menu. A count-down timer is displayed in the NBP parameter window
when the time interval set (or remaining) is 60 minutes or less. The
last minute will count down in seconds. If the set or remaining time
interval is more than 60 minutes, the symbol AUT is shown instead.
NOTE: Operating Room Mode—If an auto mode time is set in monitor
defaults, pressing the NBP GO/STOP key starts the auto mode
feature.
