Provides tabs for Home, Patient List, Alarms, Review, and Settings for device interaction.
Details the available tabs within the Navigation Area, noting dependence on profile selection.
Describes Spot Profile features: no alarms, no BP intervals, and taking SpO2 sensor OFF before saving.
Details Monitor Profile features: interval settings, parameter alarms, and SpO2 sensor behavior during saving.
Outlines steps to change profiles: navigate to Settings, then Profiles, select, and return to Home.
Emphasizes the importance of proper technique for accurate NIBP readings.
Highlights the use of SureBP® technology for BP measurement during cuff inflation.
Explains reversion to Step deflation method under conditions like extreme movement or artifact.
Instruction to initiate a blood pressure measurement by touching the START button.
Instruction to cancel an ongoing blood pressure measurement by touching the STOP button.
Guideline for cuff placement: ensure no more than two fingers fit between the cuff and the patient's arm.
Instruction for patient posture: sit quietly and avoid movement during BP measurement.
Guideline for patient positioning: ensure back is supported and legs are not crossed.
Instruction for arm positioning: the arm should be maintained at heart level.
Guideline for cuff placement: align the Artery Index Marker with the patient's brachial artery.
