Blood Pressure
Simulator also incorporates a palpable
pulse at the radial location.
(See fig-
ure 24.)
Palpations can be felt upon
start-up of the unit or after blood pres-
sure settings have been made. Press
the Menu key repeatedly until “Set
PALPATION” menu appears. “Pulse
ON” is defaulted and enables the
palpation feature. Palpations continue
during inflation until the cuff pres-
sure reaches the systolic set point,
and resumes when the cuff pressure
reaches the systolic set point during
the deflation of the cuff.

Under the display window are three
buttons: Menu, Gap, and Calibrate.
(See figure 20.)
The systolic pres-
sure is set by pressing the Menu key
once. The pressure is adjusted up
or down using the up or down arrow
keys.
(See figure 21.)
The diastolic
pressure is set by pressing the Menu
key a second time. Adjust the setting
up and down with the arrow up or
down keys.
(See figure 22.)
The
heart rate is set by pressing the
Menu key a third time, and adjusting
the rate with the arrow up and down
keys. The pulse rate can be set from
0 beats per minute to 300 beats per
minute.
(See figure 23.)
The palpa-
tion can be set to either on or pulse-
less. When the pulseless setting is
used, the diastolic and systolic pres-
sures will automatically be set to 0.
