the counting-down timer is displayed in the “Prompt Info” area.
“Initial pressure setup”:
Cuff pre-inflation pressure value is default
for neonates:
pre-inflation range: 60~80mmHg, default value: “70” mmHg;
for infants:
pre-inflation range: 80~140 mmHg, default value: “100” mmHg;
for adults:
pre-inflation range: 80~200mmHg, default value: “150” mmHg.
Note: In order to avoid inappropriate initial pressure value to do harm to patients, pre-inflation
pressure value will resume the default value when measurement mode shifts or changing patient
type or rebuilding patients’ files.

Setup.
Tourniquet Setup Screen Description:
“Pressure”:
when you use Tourniquet function, you need to preset a cuff pressure for hemostasia.
The pressure is adjustable, and its adjusting limit is different for different patient category:
for neonates:
preset range: 70~100mmHg, default value: “90” mmHg;
for infants:
preset range: 80~130 mmHg, default value: “110” mmHg;
for adults
: preset range: 80~180mmHg, default value: “140” mmHg.
If the pressure drops down slowly under 10mmHg compared with the preset value due to little air
leakage in the pneumatic system when time passes by, the monitor will re-inflate to maintain the
cuff pressure close to the preset pressure value.
Note:
the unit of cuff pressure is the same with the NIBP unit in NIBP Setup.
“Duration”:
After presetting the cuff pressure, you need to set the time period for maintaining the
preset pressure after inflation. “5, 6, 7,…120” minutes adjustable. The default value is “40” minutes.
If the set value is “xx” minutes, the monitor will count down from “xx” minutes automatically
when starting cuff inflation. When time is up, it will deflate automatically.
“Alert T”:
the alert time for reminding user that the operation of tourniquet is going to be end after
this time period. 1 to 60 minutes adjusting range with 1 minute step, the default value is “5” minutes.
If the set value is “xx” minutes, the monitor will produce alarm sound until ending deflation when
counting down time reaches to “xx” minutes. The alarm type is high priority alarm. (For example:
the duration is 40 minutes, the alert time is 5 minutes, the alarm will ring for prompt when the
duration counting down to 5 minutes. The Prompt Info area starts to prompt: TOUR C-D 300
seconds. )
“Start”:

cuff starts being inflated; Pressing “Stop” button can stop using this function. After deflation, it will
change to “Start” again.
