Setting the
Measurement
Interval Before setting the M Series unit to take automatic measurements, ensure that the measurement
interval is properly set. The measurement interval is the time period between when one measurement
starts and the next measurement starts. The measurement interval options (in minutes) are: 2.5, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120.
When you turn on the M Series unit, the measurement interval is set to the default value. The factory-
installed default measurement interval is 30 minutes, but you can configure the M Series unit to use a
different default. See the M Series Configuration Guide for information on reconfiguring the
measurement interval.
To set measurements intervals:
1. Press the Auto Interval softkey from the NIBP menu. If the Auto Interval softkey is not
displayed, see "Displaying the NIBP Menu" on page 7.
NOTE On M Series CCT units, you access the Auto Interval softkey from the NIBP Settings menu. Press
the Settings softkey from the NIBP menu, then press the Auto Interval softkey. If the Settings
softkey is not displayed, see "Displaying the NIBP Menu" on page 7.
The M Series unit displays the Auto Interval menu.

2. Press the Dec or the Inc softkey to select measurement interval.
3. Press the Return softkey (twice on M Series CCT units) to return to NIBP menu.
The measurement interval sets and remains until 10 seconds after the M Series unit is turned off or the
value is reset.
Starting
Automatic
Measurements When you start automatic measurements, the M Series unit takes an immediate measurement and
repeats subsequent measurements at the selected interval.
To start automatic measurements:
• Press the NIBP Auto softkey. If the NIBP Auto softkey label is not displayed, see "Displaying the
NIBP Menu" on page 7.
The M Series unit takes a measurement. After each measurement, the M Series unit repeats
subsequent measurements at the selected interval.
Taking an
Additional
Measurement You can take an immediate measurement between the automatic measurements unless the:
• M Series unit is currently taking a measurement, or
• defibrillator is charged or charging.
If you press the NIBP button during a measurement, the current measurement is aborted. All
subsequent measurements continue at the selected interval.
If you press the NIBP button at any other time (unless the defibrillator is charged or charging), the
M Series unit takes an extra measurement without altering the timing of the other automatic
measurements.
The M Series unit does not start a new automatic measurement unless 30 seconds have elapsed since
the end of the previous completed measurement cycle. In this case, the M Series unit omits the
scheduled measurement.
To take an additional measurement:
• Press the NIBP button.
