The
ADview
allows you to take BP measurements automatically like a monitor or manually
like a sphygmomanometer using manual Sphygmode™.
In automatic mode, the cuff inflates and deflates automatically. Initial inflation reaches a cuff
pressure of 160 mmHg; the cuff then re-inflates as necessary to obtain a reading. Deflation is
optimized to reduce measurement time and obtain an accurate result.
In manual
Sphygmode
, you inflate the cuff manually using the
Sphygmode
MAN button in
place of an inflation bulb of a sphygmomanometer. When you release the Sphygmode MAN
button, the cuff automatically deflates at the AHA recommended rate of 3mmHg/sec. Simply
use your stethoscope to determine your patient’s blood pressure.
Taking an Automated Measurement
1. With the patient prepped as described earlier (page 20), and the device powered on,
depress the automatic button that is located in front of the BP module and denoted
by the cuffed arm icon . The cuff inflates to approximately 160 mmHg, as
indicated in the systolic area of the display.
2. Once the cuff pressure reaches its target, the device controls the deflation and, in
some instances, re-inflation of the cuff in order to accurately measure BP. The cuff
pressure displays in the systolic area and is also indicated by the vertical LED bar to
the left. When you hear a single short beep, indicating the end of the measurement
cycle, read the systolic and diastolic pressures, displayed under the SYS and DIA
symbols, and the pulse rate, displayed under the
symbol.
Want a MAP
reading?
NOTE: MAP
available
outside USA
only
By default, your
ADview
measures systolic and diastolic BP, and HR. To
obtain a Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) reading, hold down the Sphygmode
manual button as you toggle power to
on
. On power up, the MAP icon
lights up on the LED display. Now, once measurements are complete, the
display will alternate between HR and MAP. To exit MAP mode, power the
device off and again hold down the Sphygmode manual button as you
toggle power to
on
. On power up, the MAP icon will flash and disappear.
MAP will no longer be displayed.
3. If there is an error in obtaining a measurement, indicated by three beeps, please refer
to the troubleshooting tips on page 42 and take the appropriate remedial measure.
