Auto Start with Signal Check on LCD Display:
(

This option is used where the operator is able to check the signals prior to an automatic recording
starting. Once selected, it is necessary to manually confirm the signals on the
SOMNOscreen™
plus
display when the unit is switched on. All signals are shown either as bar graphs or as
numeric data.

Signal control:

)
As soon as you turn on the
SOMNOscreen™ plus a prerecording will start. This can last about 30
minutes. The patient should be wired up
before starting the SOMNOscreen™ plus. The signal
control can be used for starting the recordings. During the signal control the blood pressure can
be measured manually. A digital optocoppler can optionally be connected to the PC.
The battery power output (

) defines the maximal duration of the recordings. The battery power output
is written on the label of your battery.
The programmable period is between 00:00 and 23:59
o’clock. If the recording should
start at 24:00 o’clock, please type in the date of the following day at Recording Start
and set
the start time to 00:00 o’clock!
The different start options are
:
-
Manual start without timer:

Measurement is started manually. This option
is used for attended recordings. The operator
starts the recording prior to the patient going
to sleep.
-
Auto Start without Signal Check on LCD
Display:
