Blood Pressure Monitor
Note
The blood pressure can be measured in kPa or mmHg. For selection
of the blood pressure unit, see “Country Settings Tab” on page 12-59.
Connect blood pressure monitors to the COM ports.
The BP monitor must be ready for operation before the exercise test is
activated. Otherwise the system will not recognize it and prompt the
user to take manual BP measurements.
If a measurement takes more than 60 seconds to complete, the values
may appear in the tabular data for the next stage or phase.
If no external BP monitor is connected, the system defaults to the BP
monitor integrated in or connected to the ergometer.
Note
If the systolic pressure is expected to exceed 200 mmHg (26.7 kPa),
select a higher deflation rate at the BP monitor to expedite the
measurement. The Bosotron 2 will terminate the measurement after
approx. 90 seconds.
If the Bosotron 2 identifies problems while taking a measurement,
the values will be displayed on the Bosotron 2, but they will not be
accepted by the program.
Always use the SunTech ECG electrodes, when taking BP
measurements with the SunTech 4240 during exercise tests.
