Cufflink
Operators Manual
B-4
mmHg Millimeters of mercury
Standard unit of pressure measurement
neonatal Of or relating to a newborn
NIBP Non-invasive Blood Pressure
A blood pressure measurement that involves no direct contact with
the artery
Ω
ohm
opto sensor Electronic device that acts as a switch
When the Analyzer puck moves down far enough to break the light
beam of this device, the switch turns off. When the light beam is not
broken, the switch is on.
oscillometric blood pressure
measurement A measurement of blood pressure by monitoring changes in cuff
pressure caused by the flow of blood through the artery
overpressure test Test in which an NIBP device's overpressure point is exceeded, or
the point at which cuff pressure is great enough to cause emergency
deflation
parallel communications Data transmission in which all bits are received or transmitted at the
same time
parallel printer port Connection for a parallel, Centronics compatible printer
parameter Additional values that further define the Analyzer remote commands
One can specify many different parameters for remote commands.
parity The number of (binary) ones in a serial data stream
Even parity means the data stream has an even number of ones.
Odd parity means the data stream has an odd number of ones.
Different peripheral devices may need different types of parity. It is
necessary to configure the Analyzer to be compatible with whatever
parity the peripheral device requires (Odd, Even, or Off).
peak divide ratio The value that the Analyzer uses to calculate the point of rapid cuff
deflate at the end of the blood pressure cycle
peak pressure Maximum cuff pressure attained during the blood pressure cycle
pixel When referring to monitors or displays, the small elements (seen as
small squares on the Analyzer display) that comprise the display
Pixels are arranged in a horizontal and vertical grid pixel number is
directly related to display resolution. The greater the number of pixels
in the display, the greater the resolution will be.
pop off test See overpressure test.
PopTime The amount of time the Analyzer displays pop-up windows;
adjustable from 0 to 5 seconds
Pop-Up Window Informational boxes that appear momentarily on the Analyzer display
Pop-up windows appear to confirm a choice made or an action the
Analyzer has performed.
