THREE TYPES OF BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT USING THE EN200 BP
The individual measurement methods (”rapid single measurement“, ”double measure-
ment“ and ”manual measurement“) perfectly complement each other and were
developed based on the recommendations by the ESH and the daily requirements
of everyday medical practice.
RAPID SINGLE MEASUREMENTS: Whether in the hospital or in the
doctor’s office – each routine physical examination starts with a
thorough measurement of blood pressure. The EN200 BP and accurately
determines blood pressure with a fully automatic single measurement. The integrated
memory documents up to 500 readings. These are then clearly displayed and available
for further processing and analysis.
DOUBLE MEASUREMENTS: Accurate blood pressure measurement
in routine practice is even more convenient in the double measurements
mode. The measurement is fully automatic and the blood pressure value
is calculated from the average of two single measurements in accordance with the
”Guidelines for the prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of arterial hyper-
tension“ by the German Hypertension League. This scientifically based approach
corresponds to the conventional understanding of correct medical blood pressure
measurement.
MANUAL MEASUREMENTS supports the physician in his or her
profession and is used for special groups of patients, such as
pregnant mothers.
The measurement is taken by auscultation with the stethoscope; only the pumping
and memory is performed by the EN200 BP.
BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT TERMINOLOGY
SYSTOLIC PRESSURE: ”Systole“ is the medical term for the phase of
the pumping process in which the heart contracts and ejects blood.
DIASTOLIC PRESSURE: the diastolic blood pressure value represents
the lowest pressure in the vascular system, a base pressure, to which
the vessels are permanently exposed.
The MEAN ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE is the mean blood pressure,
i.e. the mean blood pressure independent of the systolic and diastolic
fluctuations in the vascular system.
PULSE FREQUENCY: the pulse frequency refers to the number of pulses
for a specific unit of time (generally 1 minute).
