The BP monitor will automatically measure BP and HR. These values will be
captured by the ISIS system. At approximately 2 minutes 40 seconds into Stage 2 the
ISIS system will give the auditory message:
“Check heart rate on monitor.” The ISIS system will then display a visual message:
“Compare heart rate on blood pressure monitor with captured heart rate on ISIS
screen. Enter a manual heart rate ONLY if they differ by more than 5 beats.” Note the heart rate on the blood pressure monitor and compare this number with the
captured heart rate on the ISIS screen. Follow the same rules in Section 4.4.6.1 for
manual entry of heart rate.
