Automatic NIBP measurements
Automatic NIBP measurements and monitor clock
synchronization
NOTE
TRAM modules do not support automatic clock
synchronization.
Clock synchronization timing (cycling sync) automatically synchronizes your automatic
NIBP measurement time intervals with the monitor clock. For example, if automatic
measurements are initiated for five minute intervals at 4:02, the first measurement is
taken immediately at 4:02. The next measurement will be taken at 4:05 (interval and
clock are now synchronized). All measurements will continue at five minute intervals
(i.e., 4:10, 4:15, etc.)
There will always be at least a 30 second delay between two consecutive NIBP
measurements during auto cycling. If an automatic measurement completes with
less than 30 seconds to the next scheduled measurement, the monitor will delay the
scheduled measurement until 30 seconds have passed. The cycling synchronization
is not done during these 30 seconds but it will be done after the delayed auto
measurement starts.
Examples with a 5 minute cycling time:
Completion with less than 30 seconds to
the next scheduled measurement Completion after the next scheduled
measurement should have started
●
First auto measurement starts: 4:59:00
●
First auto measurement completes:
4:59:40
●
Second auto measurement starts: 5:00:20
(not clock synchronized)
●
Third auto measurement starts: 5:05:00
(clock synchronized)
●
First auto measurement starts: 4:59:00
●
First auto measurement completes:
5:00:10
●
Second auto measurement starts: 5:05:00
Setting the cycle time between NIBP measurements
To automatically measure NIBP at set time intervals, you must first set the cycle time.
1. Select the NIBP parameter window.
2. Select the cycle time from the Cycle Time list.
NIBP Auto mode
The NIBP Auto mode initiates repeated measurements for the selected Cycle Time .
There will be at least a 30 second delay between two consecutive NIBP measurements
during auto cycling.
Starting or stopping the NIBP Auto from the NIBP Setup menu
1. Select the NIBP parameter window.
2. Select Start Cycling for NIBP Auto .
