Event Codes................14 Overview The Spacelabs Medical Models 90207 and 90217 Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABP) monitors are small, lightweight battery-powered units designed to take blood pressure and heart rate measurements for 24 or 48 hours, or for longer periods of time.
The rear panels of both monitors contain program input and data output communication ports. On the 90207 the power ON/OFF switch is also located on the rear panel. On the 90217 the ON/OFF switch is located on the top panel.
Connecting Directly to a Local Report Generator For a direct connection to the 90207 or 90217 monitor, place the monitor into the chute on the Report Generator (Model 90239A or equivalent) as shown below.

To verify proper monitor operation, take one or more blood pressure readings. Push the START/STOP key to begin a measurement. Spacelabs Medical recommends taking three readings in the office so that the patient becomes comfortable with operation of the monitor and the measurement process.
If the cuff is not properly positioned, event codes may appear on the monitor. • The patient should make every effort to keep the monitor dry. However, there is no hazard if the monitor does get wet. If this occurs, turn the monitor off and return it to Spacelabs Medical for service. 1-11...
