Specifications Functions and Specifications
Automatic measurement
This measurement starts or stops using the
AUTO ON/OFF
key. When this
measurement is started, the recorder begins to work in accordance with
preset time intervals from the preset time of the internal clock. Refer to
"Selection for the automatic measurement".
In the automatic measurement, an "A" appears in the upper left of the display.
The recorder automatically measures the patient's blood pressure at the time that is
pointed out by "the frequency" and "the start time" (by the programed time intervals).
When a measurement error occurs and there is 10 minutes until the next
measurement, the measurement is retried after approx. 30 seconds.
If a measurement is retried, only the data from the retry is saved.
The recorder automatically adjusts the proper pressure, exhaust velocity and
end of measurement.
Refer to "Selection for the automatic measurement" and "Automatic measure-
ment by programed time intervals" about operation and entering parameters.
Stopping a measurement
If you press the
START STOP
key during a measurement, the recorder exhausts
the air and stops the measurement.
Concealing the measurement value
This function works only while using automatic measurement.
This function does not display the SYS, DIA or pulse rate for the automatic
measurement, but the data is saved in memory.
This function can select "reveal" or "conceal" at "Parameters for the display
and clock". Refer to this section.
If you select "conceal", the recorder displays the clock during a measurement.
If you reset the recorder, this parameter is set to "reveal".
Pressurization
The pressure is automatically selected by the recorder while in the automatic
measurement mode.
The first pressure is set to approx. 185 mmHg. This value automatically
adjusts to the proper value after the first measurement. If the first inflation is
not successful, the recorder retries twice.
If you reset the recorder, the first inflation value is reset to 185 mmHg.
Memory
The TM-2430 recorder can store 300 sets of data.
A data set consists of a SYS, a DIA and a pulse rate.
When memory becomes full, the recorder displays an "M". Until you clear the
data, you can not measure blood pressure.
When the recorder saves data for more than one patient, data management
becomes complication. We recommend that patient data is transferred and
cleared from memory.
When a "B" is displayed, the backup batteries that is preserving a patient`s data
are weak. Please replace batteries as soon as possible.
ID number
If you reset the recorder, the ID number is set to "1".
The ID number can be set using the optional software.
