As soon as you turn the interval mode on, the
monitor starts an NBP measurement. A bar
graph appears in the NBP parameter box to
indicate the time left until the start of the next
measurement.
In addition to measurements in the automatic
cycle, you can take a single measurement at any time. However,
if the bar graph empties before the end of your single NBP mea-
surement, the next automatic NBP measurement occurs only
when the bar graph empties again. As a result, the monitor skips
one interval measurement.
If the monitor detects an error (while the NBP alarm is on), any
attempts to take NBP measurements (single or at intervals) gener-
ate an error tone. For more information, see the chapter Alarms
and Messages.
Inflation Mode
You must select the appropriate inflation limits for your patient.
The following table shows the monitor’s inflation values for each
inflation mode:

In neonatal monitoring mode, you can only select Neo 90 and Neo 140 (Neo 90 is the default).
In pediatric monitoring mode, you can only select Neo 90, Neo 140, Pediatric 140 and Pediatric
180 (Pediatric 180 is the default).
