Series 58000 Instruction Manual (Rev.1)
UP/DOWN
the pressure measurements are taken during
the compression phase (
UP
) and the decom-
pression (
DOWN
) phase;
DIA/SYS
the instrument is set to record both diastolic &
diastolic pressure;
SYS
the instrument measures the systolic pressure
only.
By depressing F1 (
MEA
) in repeti-
tion, the operator selects the desired
mode according to the following four
combinations:-
1
UP/DOWN -
DIA/SYS
2
DOWN
-
DIA/SYS
3
UP/DOWN - SYS
4
DOWN -
SYS
6.1.2
Speed Selection
Now, let us consider the speed (
F2
SPE
). There are two speeds:
first, the speed at which the
pressure increases
, obviously proportional to the traverse speed of the piston (see paragraph
2.1-Pressure Generator System). For a first run, you should select :
SPEED
1
of 10 mm Hg/second
or
SPEED 2
of 20 mm Hg/second.
The
second
speed refers to the
chart motion
(in millimetres per second):
L
low
, of
5
mm/s (SPEED 1) or
10
mm/s (SPEED 2)
and
H
high
, of
10
mm/s (SPEED 1) or
20
mm/s (SPEED 2)
Via the appropriate speed selection, the pressure graph (see Figure 3 “Sample of a Graph”) does
not appear too thin or too tight.
This is far from being a simple question of look! As we will see, an appropriate tightness of the
graph (see displays at pages 18/19) helps the operator to pinpoint the systolic pressure with ex-
actitude.
6.1.3
Animal Selection
Depress the
F3
(
ANI
) key in succession. On the bottom line you will read:
DOG – RAT – RAT/M
1
- MOUSE
The instrument automatically adjusts the pulse amplifier to the appropriate sensitivity. Moreover,
it modifies the parameters of electronic filter according to the size of the animal.
1
RAT/M means a very small rat or an unusually large mouse
