NIBP Setup menu

NIBP
Ready Prompt Ready prompt gives an audible tone when the NIBP measurement is ready. Adjust the volume
of the beep tone from 1 (soft) to 10 (loud), or to 0 (OFF.)
Inflation Limits When this selection is 'Auto', the monitor automatically identifies the cuff hose and selects the
right inflation pressure and alarm limits for adults. For children, and when using infant hoses
without identification, set the limit manually to Child or to Infant.
This selection allows you to override the automatic safety limit feature for the hose/cuff being
used.
The selections are: Auto, Infant, Child and Adult. The selection AUTO is not available when
using hoses without identification.
NOTE: You cannot select adult limits with an infant cuff hose.
NOTE: When using very large adult cuffs, use 'Adult' limits to prevent 'Cuff loose'
message from displaying.
Calibration Check
Enables the calibration check with an external manometer:
Remove cuff from the module connector before entering the menu. When the menu is
displayed, attach an external manometer with pump to the connector. Pump approximately
200 mmHg and compare the readings of the manometer and screen. If the difference is more
than 4 mmHg, calibration by authorized service personnel may be necessary.
