Introduction
Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American
National Standards Institute, ANSI/AAMI SP10: 2002, Manual, Electronic, or Automated
Sphygmomanometers.
Your new ADC
®
e-sphyg
TM
gauge provides you with all of the functionality of a traditional
aneroid gauge, with none of the problems associated with these mechanical devices.
Using state of the art technology, your e-sphyg
TM
gauge will provide you with performance
and reliability exceeding the most popular aneroid models. While traditional mechanical
gauges can be easily knocked out of calibration when dropped, your digital gauge will
remain accurate even when subjected to rough treatment. With its helpful on-screen cali-
bration reminder, you will be able to use your new digital gauge with confidence and with
the knowledge that it will remain calibrated beyond the lifespan of a more traditional
mechanical gauge.
Your digital e-sphyg
TM
aneroid also has several features not available in a more traditional
mechanical gauge. The systolic assist function will give you a visual alert when you are
approaching the patient’s estimated systolic pressure, allowing you to focus your attention
to detect the beginnings of phase 1 Korotkoff sounds. The digital gauge will also monitor
the patient’s pulse during the measurement process, and display this information
onscreen for you to record.
We hope you enjoy the convenience and accuracy of your new digital e-sphyg
TM
gauge.
Using state-of-the-art technology, your e-sphyg
TM
will provide digital accuracy with tank-like
reliability.
Intended Use
ADC
®
aneroid, digital aneroid, and mercurial sphygmomanometers are used by professional
healthcare providers and individuals trained in auscultatory blood pressure technique to
determine systolic and diastolic pressure in humans.
