When the transfer of information is complete, the ABP monitor will beep. Voice
communication is restored after the monitor beeps.
• Power OFF the monitor and disconnect the monitor from the modem.
• If a direct connection between the monitor and the base station is used, power
OFF the monitor and then disconnect it from the ABP data interface unit.
1.3.4.2 Modem Indicator Lights
Modem indicators at the local modem are lit, flashing, or unlit depending on the stage of
operation. When the monitor is powered ON, the RD (Receive Data) and SD (Send Data)
lights will flash for several seconds. The OH (On Hook) indicator becomes lit when the
monitor starts communicating with the remote modem. When the modems connect, the
CD (Carrier Detect) is lit. The SD and RD lights flash as data is being transferred.
After the transmission is complete and the monitor is powered OFF, the HS, TR, and MR
indicators will always remain lit at the local modem
1.3.4.3 Setup Test
Note: Verify that the cable connections are secure.
Power ON the ABP monitor. It will display “9999.” While the monitor is being read or
initialized, the digits will change to indicate that communication is taking place between
the monitor and the analysis system. When communication is complete, the digits will no
longer change.
1.3.5 Office Check Mode
The monitor automatically enters an Office Check mode for the first five measurements
immediately following initialization. This allows you to verify the performance of the
monitor on an individual patient without the need for re-initialization to reset the display
features.
Note: The 90217A enforces a 30 second minimum pause between measurements
to allow reperfusion. If the START/STOP key is pressed too soon after the
previous measurement, the monitor will count down the required period
before automatically starting the measurement.
While in the Office Check mode, the monitor operates as follows:
• Displays the cuff pressure on each bleed step.
• Displays systole, diastole, and heart rate at the end of the measurement.
• Bleeds one step below the diastolic value as determined by the monitor.
