System Setup
Editing the Existing Configuration
To make changes to the settings, select the appropriate check box:
•
If you select the
Show results of reading
check box, the reading results will appear on the
ABP monitor display after each blood pressure reading.
•
If you select the
Clinical verification setup
check box, the monitor will detect blood pressure
levels as low as 40 mmHg (the monitor will always bleed to 40 mmHg).
•
If you select the
Display Cuff Pressure
check box, the cuff pressure will appear on the ABP
monitor display while the cuff is pumping and bleeding.
•
The
Monitor clock display time
selection determines how the time appears on the ABP
monitor, either in 12-hour or 24-hour (military) format.
Wake and Sleep Configuration
The physician may require that the blood pressure readings occur more often during certain times
of the day, and less often during other times. Configure the
Wake periods
and
Sleep periods
as
necessary to meet the physician’s requirements.
•
Make any necessary changes to the
Start Hour
and
Readings/Hour
options.
•
If you select the
Tone
check box, an audible tone will precede each blood pressure reading.
(In most situations, ensure that
Tone
is not selected for sleep periods.)
•
Once a period is defined, the pie chart on the right side of the dialog box automatically updates
to reflect changes.
•
The pie chart will reflect the sleep and wake period settings with numbers (representing the
readings per hour), asterisks ( * ; representing that the tone is enabled), and colors (each
period is color coded to correspond with the pie chart).
When you finish customizing the monitor settings, either click
OK
to close the dialog box, or select
the
System
tab to continue.
