The new intervals take effect at the start of the next NIBP measurement.

Stat intervals

You can configure the monitor to take NIBP measurements continuously.

When you select the Stat option in the Intervals tab, the monitor takes repeated NIBP

measurements for 5 minutes, starting a new cycle each time the cuff deflates below safe venous

return pressure (SVRP) for 2 seconds.

WARNING Patient injury risk. If you use Stat mode repeatedly, periodically

observe the patient's limb to ensure that circulation is not impaired and that the cuff

remains in place. Prolonged impairment of circulation or improper cuff position can

cause bruising.

Current cuff pressures are not dynamically displayed during a Stat reading. The Home tab displays

the NIBP reading from the previous cycle until the current cycle finishes.

Note

If you are in Stat intervals, you can stop intervals by touching

. If you touch

the button twice, you will restart Stat intervals. The control toggles between STOP

and START with each touch.
