When in the NBP Test screen, the Return option is always highlighted. Press the wheel to
return to the Diagnostic Menu. Rotating the wheel while in the NBP Test screen has no
effect.
Activate Pump As long as the NBP button is pressed,
the pump runs. If system pressure
reaches the hardware over-pressure
protection point (280 to 330 mmHg or
37.3 to 44.0 kPa), the safety valve opens
and the pump disables, until the pressure
falls below the safety threshold.
Open Both Valves As long as the Volume button is pressed,
the safety valve and proportional valve
opens and remains at maximum.
Deflate As long as the Alarm Silence button is
pressed, the proportional valve opens
and bleeds off pressure at the rate of 3
±1.5 mmHg/s. It is useful to control the
bleed rate to 3mmHg/s to facilitate
certain AAMI SP10 tests. Any time the
bleed rate falls below 3 mmHg/s, the
valve opens and remains at maximum as
long as the button is pressed.
Offset Adjustment Momentarily press the Contrast Adjust
button invokes the Zero Calibration
routine that is performed immediately
prior to each blood pressure
measurement. This routine looks at the
pressure in the system, and if the
pressure is non-zero, an offset is applied
which causes the system pressure to
display as Zero.
