.
Choose whether or not the plethysmographic
waveform appear on the screen.
Adjust or auto-set alarm limits. Select hi
to change the high alarm limit and lo to
change the low alarm limit. The system
maintains appropriate separation between
the high and low limits.
NOTE: The
auto-set
option is not available for SpO
2
. You cannot
choose the
auto-set
option to set the alarm limits for oxygen
saturation. However, when SpO
2
is the source for HR/Pulse, using
auto-set
in the
Setup HR/Pulse
menu will set the alarm limits
around the SpO
2
PR value.
Heart Rate
Heart rate/pulse (HR/Pulse) in the Dash 2500 Patient
Monitor can be derived from one of several sources. In
descending order of priority, they are ECG, pulse oximetry
(SpO
2
), and non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP). Instead of
choosing a single source of HR/Pulse, you can activate the
auto feature to choose the best available source.
• Prepare patient
• Connect monitoring lines
• Select
HR/Pulse
from the
setup parameters
option in
the
Main Menu
• Set up monitoring parameters
Choose the source of the HR/Pulse data to
be displayed on the screen.
Adjust the volume of the tone that sounds
each time a QRS complex is detected.
Adjust or auto-set alarm limits. Select hi
to change the high alarm limit and lo to
change the low alarm limit. The system
maintains appropriate separation between
the high and low limits. Choose auto-set to
use the patient’s current readings in setting
the high and low limits.
• Manual mode: push the
NIBP Go/Stop
hardkey once to
obtain immediate determination.
• Select
NIBP
from the
setup parameters
option in
Main
Menu
to set or change limits or to set up auto mode.
• Auto mode: quick-push the
NIBP Auto
hardkey to begin
auto BP determinations.
• Stat mode: push-and-hold the
NIBP Auto
hardkey to
obtain continuous determinations for 5 minutes.
Suspend all monitoring and alarms for NIBP.
Configure a custom auto mode to meet the
needs of your clinical situation.
Set time-cycled (auto mode) NIBP
determinations.
Adjust or auto-set alarm limits. Choose hi to
change the high alarm limit and lo to
change the low alarm limit. You can set
high and low limits individually for systolic,
diastolic, and mean values. The system
maintains appropriate separation between
the high and low limits. Choose auto-set to
use the patient’s current readings in setting
the high and low limits.

The SpO
2
parameter in the Dash 2500 Patient Monitor is

®
.
• Select sensor
• Plug sensor connector into SpO
2
port
• Apply sensor
• Select
