4.3.13 Menu Item 23: Enable/Disable Alarm Silence Reminder
This function allows the service technician to disable or enable the Alarm
Silence Reminder feature.
1.
From the service mode steady state, select menu item 23 by pressing the
UP or DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the UPPER ALARM LIMIT
button.
2.
Observe the current Alarm Silence Reminder setting of “0” (disabled) or
“1” (enabled) in the DIASTOLIC display. If the displayed value is
different from the stored power-on default value, the displayed value will
flash.
3.
To change the Alarm Silence Reminder setting, press the UP or DOWN
ARROW button until the desired setting is displayed.
4.
Press the UPPER ALARM LIMIT button to store the displayed value as
the power-on default.
5.
Press the LOWER ALARM LIMIT button to return to the service mode
steady state.
4.3.14 Menu Item 24: Pressure Calculation Algorithm Selection
This function allows the service technician to select the algorithm used for
computing blood pressure values to be displayed.
1.
From the service mode, select menu item 24 by pressing the UP or
DOWN ARROW buttons. Press the UPPER ALARM LIMIT button.
2.
Observe the current pressure calculation algorithm setting (1 = raw;
2 = adjusted) in the DIASTOLIC display. If the displayed value is
different from the power-on value, the displayed value will flash.
3.
To change the pressure calculation algorithm setting, press the UP or
DOWN ARROW button until the desired setting is displayed.
4.
Press the UPPER ALARM LIMIT button to store the displayed value as
the power-on default.
5.
Press the LOWER ALARM LIMIT button to return to the service mode
steady state.
Note:
When pressure calculation algorithm 2 (adjusted) is selected and
the N -3100 is operating in the adult-pediatric mode, the
displayed systolic blood pressure value will be adjusted by
-2 mmHg from the value measured by the NIBP module. In
addition, the displayed diastolic blood pressure value will be
adjusted by +5 mmHg from the value measured by the NIBP
module. When pressure algorithm 1 (raw) is selected and the
N-3100 is operating in the adult-pediatric mode, the displayed
systolic and diastolic blood pressure values will be the same as
the values measured by the NIBP module. When the N-3100 is
operating in the neonatal mode, the displayed systolic and
diastolic blood pressure values will be the same as the values
measured by the NIBP module with no adjustments, regardless
of the pressure calculation algorithm that is selected. Typically,
pressure calculation algorithm 1 (raw) is selected for N-3100
applications in Japan. For N-3100 applications in the Americas,
