After Partial Analysis parameters are defined, the data specified within the parameters
will appear in red overlaying the Full Analysis data.
2-4-2 BP Mode
The BP Mode is used to select which blood pressure method will be used as the primary and
secondary choices for displaying the blood pressure measurement data. A&D monitors employ
either Korotkoff, oscillometric or dual Korotkoff and oscillometric measurement methods. If the
current data file contains data from a dual system, you may choose Korotkoff, oscillometric or both
methods to analyze the data.
The measurement method(s) specified in the BP Mode will be the basis for the statistical and
graphical analysis performed on the opened data file. The method noted with a one (1) is the
primary method and the method noted with a two (2) is the secondary method. If a primary method
measurement error occurred during the monitoring session or a measurement is manually excluded
(see “2-6-2-1 Excluding/Including BP Measurements”), a valid measurement in the secondary
method will be substituted for it with the appropriate BP Mode selection.
Method Setting Description
Oscillometric only This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
oscillometric and disables the secondary choice. If the
oscillometric reading for any measurement is invalid or has
been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the
measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and
statistical computations.
1: Oscillometric, 2: Korotkoff This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
oscillometric and the secondary choice to Korotkoff. If an
oscillometric reading is invalid, oscillometric readings will
be substituted with Korotkoff readings. If both readings
are invalid for a measurement, all data from the
measurement is excluded.
Korotkoff only This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
Korotkoff and disables the secondary choice. If the
Korotkoff reading for any measurement is invalid or has
been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the
measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and
statistical computations.
1: Korotkoff, 2: Oscillometric This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
Korotkoff and the secondary choice to oscillometric. If a
Korotkoff reading is invalid, Korotkoff readings will be
substituted with oscillometric readings. If both readings
are invalid for a measurement, all data from the
measurement is excluded.
