MANUAL / TERMINAL / ANALOG
: Return to the operation mode where you
started from (MANUAL, TERMINAL or ANALOG).
The cuff inflates to 180 mm Hg, if it is the first BP measurement of this patient. 180 mm Hg
is the initial maximum of the pressure. For each subsequent BP measurement, the last
measured SYSTOLIC value +50 mm Hg is used as a maximum inflation limit. Be aware that
in case of an error (D.3) the inflate limit can go up to 260 mmHg worst case. Above 300 mm
Hg, or if a measurement lasts longer than 180 seconds, the hardware releases pressure
immediately for safety reasons. Deflation is done 40 mm Hg below the last measured
DIASTOLIC pressure. The used deflate rate is approximately 4 mm Hg/heartbeat.
A list of most occurring warnings and errors is given in D.3 Abort codes BP system.
The built-in BP module offers, in case of malfunction or poor performance, the possibility to
make error codes visible. These are the so-called TC bytes. They have to be switched on
under SYSTEM PARAMETERS/SETTINGS/TC_BYTES (6.4.6). When the test codes are
ON two more displays are available after BP measurement:
1.
TC bytes 0,1,2,3:
2.
TC bytes 4,5,6,7:
Caution
: The interpretation of the error codes should be done only by experts. Ask your
supplier for more information.
D.2
Patient Hook-up
Correct patient hook-up is very important. Experience has shown that a lot of troubles can be
avoided when the rules below are kept in mind. Especially BP measurement using Korotkoff
tones under stress requires accurate preparation.
D.2.1
Apply the cuff
On the inside of the upper arm you can feel the brachial artery. Palpate the brachial artery to
ensure proper placement. The best place for the microphone is where you can most clearly
feel the pulse (Fig. 16 Palpating the arm). Upper clothing should be taken off! Pulled up
garments should not jam the upper arm.
