ZOLL R Series Monitor Defibrillator Rev A NIBP - Manual (Page 21)

Taking Measurements
9650-0914-01 Rev. A R Series Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) 19
The R Series unit takes a measurement, and repeats subsequent measurements at the selected
interval.
Note that if the defibrillator is charged or charging when the R Series unit is about to take an
automatic measurement, it aborts the blood pressure measurement. All subsequent automatic
measurements take place at their scheduled time.
Note: If it is necessary to replace the battery of the R Series unit and AC power is not
connected during an automatic NIBP interval, the interval will be extended by the time
it takes to replace the battery up to 10 seconds.
Taking an Additional Measurement
You can take an immediate measurement between the automatic measurements except when:
• The R Series unit is currently taking a measurement.
• The defibrillator is charged or charging.
To take an additional measurement, press the NIBP button ( ).
The R Series unit takes an extra measurement without altering the timing of the other
measurements. It does not start a new automatic measurement unless 30 seconds have elapsed
since the end of the previous completed measurement cycle. If the extra measurement
completes less than 30 seconds before a scheduled measurement, the R Series unit omits the
scheduled measurement.
Aborting a Single Measurement
When the R Series unit is taking automatic measurements, you can stop a single blood pressure
measurement by pressing the NIBP button.
The R Series unit immediately stops taking the measurement and deflates the cuff, but takes all
subsequent automatic measurements at their selected interval.
Stopping All Automatic Measurements
You can stop all upcoming blood pressure measurements. If the R Series unit is taking a
measurement, it completes the current measurement, but does not take any subsequent
measurements.
To stop automatic measurements, simply press the NIBP Auto softkey. (If the NIBP Auto
softkey label is not displayed, see “Displaying the NIBP Menu” on page 10.)
Aborting Measurements
You can immediately abort a blood pressure measurement at any time whether you are in
MONITOR, DEFIB or PACER mode (ON for BLS/Plus models, in Manual mode only).
To abort the current measurement:
• Press the NIBP button ( ) on the R Series front panel.
The R Series unit immediately stops taking the measurement, displays the
NIBP MEAS ABORTED message, and deflates the cuff.
