4. Press the Return softkey to return to NIBP menu.
The E Series unit repeats the selected cuff inflation 
pressure for every measurement.
Setting Alarms
The E Series NIBP option includes blood pressure 
alarms for the measurements shown in the following 
table.
Before taking a measurement, ensure that all the NIBP 
alarms settings are appropriate for the situation. See the 
E Series Operator’s Guide for instructions on setting 
alarms. When an NIBP or heart rate alarm is triggered, 
the unit automatically initiates a single blood pressure 
measurement. See the E Series Configuration Guide for 
instructions on how to enable/disable this automatic 
measurement.
When the E Series unit is turned on, all alarm functions 
are disabled, and the alarm limits are set to their default 
values. Any changes to these settings remain in effect 
until either the settings are changed or 10 seconds after 
the E Series unit is turned off. You can configure the 
default alarm limits at power-up; see the E Series 
Configuration Guide for more information. 
Setting Alarm Limits
You can change all the alarm limits using standard 
E Series procedures. See the E Series Operator’s Guide 
for instructions on setting alarm limits.
You can set the alarm limits using the Auto function, or 
you can choose your own limits (see the preceding 
table). The Auto function sets the high limit to 30 mmHg 
(4.0 kPa) above and the low limit to 20 mmHg (2.7 kPa) 
below the last measurement.
Enabling, Disabling, and Suspending Alarms
You can activate and deactivate all NIBP alarms, as well 
as disable audible NIBP alarm indicators, using standard 
E Series procedures; refer to the E Series Operator’s 
Guide for instructions.
Changing the status of one NIBP alarm automatically 
sets all the other NIBP alarms to the same status. For 
example, if you enable the systolic alarm, all other NIBP 
alarms are automatically activated. Similarly, if you 
deactivate the diastolic alarm, all other NIBP alarms are 
automatically deactivated. Activating or deactivating 
NIBP alarms or disabling audible NIBP alarm indicators 
does not affect the status of other E Series alarms. 
Suspending an NIBP alarm disables the audible 
indicators until after the completion of the next 
measurement. All visual alarm indicators remain active.
Triggering NIBP Measurements
You can configure the E Series unit to take a single NIBP 
measurement after the heart rate alarm is triggered and/
or the NIBP alarm is triggered. See the E Series 
Configuration Guide for further details.
Taking Measurements
This section describes how to take each type of 
measurement (a single measurement, a STAT 
measurement, or an automatic measurement). You can 
take any type of measurement whether you are in 
MONITOR, DEFIB or PACER mode except in the 
following cases:
•
The defibrillator is charged or charging.
•
The previous measurement occurred within 
30 seconds in automatic interval measurement 
mode.
To immediately abort any measurement in progress and 
deflate the cuff, press the NIBP button. As a safety 
feature, the E Series unit does not take measurements 
within 30 seconds of another completed measurement 
when in automatic interval measurement mode. 
If the E Series unit finds a fault, a message displays on 
the screen. See “Troubleshooting” on page 15 for a list of 
NIBP display messages and their corresponding 
corrective action.
