5.
On the graphical display, starting from the point of first pulse, select an area to the maximum.
6.
Review the results for Max (Systolic), Min (Diastolic), and Mean measurements.
Calculation of BPM Heart
1.
Set a measurement for
BPM
.
2.
Use the I-beam cursor to select the maximum points of the peaks of the CH2 pulse waveform.
3.
Review the results for BPM (Heart Rate value) for each peak.
NIBP250 QUICK GUIDE
PREPARE
- With unit turned off, attach the sensor and cuff connectors.
- Turn on unit and wait for the Main Screen to appear.
- Prepare the animal and attach sensor-cuff to tail.
ACQUIRE
- When preparation is complete: Press the “Start” button on the Main Screen. The button label changes to “Stop”
and you can halt the acquisition at any time.
- When the acquisition starts, the unit automatically closes the leakage valve and begins inflating the cuff.
- After pressure reaches the maximum level, the pump stops and opens the leakage valve to release the pressure.
- After the pressure is fully released, the acquisition stops.
NIBP250 ANALYSIS
The NIBP250’s automated peak detection system marks the peak of each pulse with a white cross, and is enabled
by selecting the "Peak by peak" option on the Main Screen. This feature makes it easier to identify the individual
pulses. To determine the systolic and diastolic values:
1.
Select the "Peak by peak" box on the main screen.
2.
Use the right (or left) cursor button to locate the first pulse's white cross and press the "Systolic" button.
(You may also place the cursor using the touch screen.) The system will record and display the systolic
blood pressure value.
3.
Use the cursor button (or touch screen) to move to the pulse with the highest peak and then press the
"Diastolic" button. The system will record and display the diastolic blood pressure value..
You may change your cursor peak positions at anytime during the analysis.
After measurement is complete, press the Save button under “Results.” An automatically generated result code
will be displayed at the top of the results section.
