1-12 Dash 2000 Patient Monitor Revision C
2005873-001
NBP Go/Stop
Function
Silence Alarm
This key starts one noninvasive blood pressure measurement. It can also be
used at any time to stop a measurement in process.
NOTE: In Operating Room Mode, if an auto mode time is set in monitor
defaults, pressing the NBP GO/STOP key starts the auto mode
feature.
This key zeroes the invasive pressure line. The pressure can also be zeroed,
if desired, with a menu option in the pressure menu. (If your monitor does
not have the invasive pressure option, this key will be present, but will not
affect the operation of the monitor.)
This key silences a current, audible alarm for 60 seconds. Only new alarms
of equal or higher level interrupt the silence command.
WARNING
Alarms do not sound, alarm graphs do not print, and alarms
are not sent to the central station during an "Alarm Pause"
condition.
Press the key twice during an alarm to start an alarm pause (five minutes
for Adult-ICU, 3 minutes for Neonatal-ICU). Press the key again during the
alarm pause to reactivate alarms.
If no alarm is sounding, press this key to start an alarm pause.
If your monitor is set up for Operating Room mode, you have three levels of
alarm pause:
•
Press once (if an alarm is sounding you must press twice) to start a 5-
minute alarm pause;
•
Press again to start a 15-minute alarm pause;
•
Press again to start a permanent alarm pause;
•
Press again to reactivate alarms.
