A&D TM-2430-13 instruction manual Method Setting Description

♦Histograms

After Partial Analysis parameters are defined, the data specified within the parameters will appear in red overlaying the Full Analysis data.

2-4-2 BP Mode

The BP Mode is used to select which blood pressure method will be used as the primary and secondary choices for displaying the blood pressure measurement data. A&D monitors employ either Korotkoff, oscillometric or dual Korotkoff and oscillometric measurement methods. If the current data file contains data from a dual system, you may choose Korotkoff, oscillometric or both methods to analyze the data.

The measurement method(s) specified in the BP Mode will be the basis for the statistical and graphical analysis performed on the opened data file. The method noted with a one (1) is the primary method and the method noted with a two (2) is the secondary method. If a primary method measurement error occurred during the monitoring session or a measurement is manually excluded (see “2-6-2-1Excluding/Including BP Measurements”), a valid measurement in the secondary method will be substituted for it with the appropriate BP Mode selection.

Method Setting	Description
Oscillometric only	This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
	oscillometric and disables the secondary choice. If the
	oscillometric reading for any measurement is invalid or has
	been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the
	measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and
	statistical computations.
1: Oscillometric, 2: Korotkoff	This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
	oscillometric and the secondary choice to Korotkoff. If an
	oscillometric reading is invalid, oscillometric readings will
	be substituted with Korotkoff readings. If both readings
	are invalid for a measurement, all data from the
	measurement is excluded.
Korotkoff only	This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
	Korotkoff and disables the secondary choice. If the
	Korotkoff reading for any measurement is invalid or has
	been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the
	measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and
	statistical computations.
1: Korotkoff, 2: Oscillometric	This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to
	Korotkoff and the secondary choice to oscillometric. If a
	Korotkoff reading is invalid, Korotkoff readings will be
	substituted with oscillometric readings. If both readings
	are invalid for a measurement, all data from the
	measurement is excluded.
