Overview
The Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABP) Report Management System assesses a patient’s cardiac
health via blood pressure readings taken during daily activity for 24 to 48 hours, or more.
The ABP system consists of a standard ABP monitor, a personal computer (PC), host software
application, and an electronic interface between the monitor(s) and the PC system(s). The
monitors used with the ABP system include the 90207 monitor and 90217 Ultralite
™
monitor.
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Warning:
•
The ABP Report Management System and any non-medical equipment that is
connected to the ABP Report Management System should not be allowed within the
patient’s vicinity (patient vicinity extends 6 feet or 1.83 m beyond the perimeter of
the bed, table or chair, and 7 1/2 feet or 2.29 m above the floor).
•
Remove the arm cuff from the patient before defibrillation. There is a risk of
defibrillation failure, burns and equipment damage if defibrillator paddles contact
the arm cuff or ABP monitor. In the special case where the patient has a defibrillator
at home, family members and in-home caregivers who could be responsible for
attempting defibrillation must be advised of this hazard.
•
Explosion hazard. Do NOT use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.
Caution:
•
Do NOT use acetone, ether, freon, petroleum derivatives, or other solvents to clean
the ABP monitor.
•
Spacelabs Medical’s ABP monitors are designed to meet IEC 60601-1-2 EMC
immunity requirements. The presence of strong EMI fields generated by electronic,
surgical, or diathermy instruments in close proximity to the unit may cause trace
noise or input overload conditions. Refer to the Electromagetic Compatibility
appendix in the 90207 service manual (P/N 070-0189-xx) or the 90217 service manual
(P/N 070-0502-xx).

To avoid operator injury, refer to your PC owner’s manual for proper ergometric use.
