Programming the
Opti
for an ABP Study
To prepare the monitor for an ABP study, simply fill out an on-screen form to set the
parameters for your patient to be programmed into the monitor.
1. Select the Program button on the
toolbar or Program study under
Monitor in the menu bar.
2. Enter the settings in the form (Fig.
4). Fields are described below.
3. Programming begins when OK is
clicked.
4. An indicator bar shows the
progress as the data is
transferred to the monitor and
disappears when programming is
successfully completed.
The test parameters can be adjusted as follows:
Patient name and ID: For reporting and referencing data.
Start study in 5
minutes:
Check denotes that the study will start automatically after
programming; unchecked denotes that the first push of the
Start/Stop button with unit powered on will start the study.
Time zone difference: Adjust the monitor’s clock to the time zone that the patient
is in relative to your time zone.
Max Pressure:
160 to 280 mmHg; suggested setting is 30 mmHg above
the highest expected systolic BP.
NOTE:
The ABP monitor will not inflate to Max Pressure with each
reading; it inflates to 30 mmHg above the previous systolic reading.
Keypad:
Enabled will allow the patient to start readings.
Display:
Enabled will allow the patient to view the results
immediately after a measurement.
NOTE:
Keypad and Display are always enabled for the first 30
minutes of a study.
Intervals:
Set intervals between programmed readings to Standard
for +/- 5 minutes around selected times or Fixed for exact
times. 5 and 10 minute intervals are always exact.
Time Periods:
Up to 3 allowed.
Time Intervals:
None, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120-minute
intervals between readings.
Fitting a patient with the
Opti
and
OptiFit
blood pressure cuff
After you have successfully programmed the
Opti
using
Opti-Insight
, you may begin
fitting the patient with the monitor and a blood pressure cuff. Cuffs may be used on
either arm.
1. Choose the proper cuff size
To determine the correct cuff size for your patient, wrap the cuff around the
patient’s upper arm. Use the color-coded RANGE indicator on the inside of the
cuff and the bold INDEX marker to check that the arm circumference falls within
the cuff range. If the arm is within range, this cuff size is correct for your patient.
If the measurement is outside the RANGE indicator, select a new cuff size as
indicated by color.
IMPORTANT:
Using an incorrect cuff size could
result in erroneous and misleading blood pressure
measurements.
2. Apply the cuff
The cuff should be midway between the elbow and
shoulder. Be sure the ARTERY indicator is over the
patient’s brachial artery, between the bicep and tricep
muscles. Wrap the cuff snugly around the patient’s
upper arm.
3. Connect the hoses
Connect the hoses from the cuff and monitor by twisting
the fittings together until you hear a snap. Drape the hose over the patient’s
shoulder, around the neck and across the opposite side of the body.
4. Attach to patient
Insert the
Opti
into its pouch
with the display visible. Attach
the pouch to the patient using
the belt.
5. Begin BP reading
To verify proper monitor
operation, ensure that the
monitor is on and start a BP
reading by pressing the Start/
Stop button. If problems occur,
review the setup and fitting of
the system or consult
Troubleshooting for tips.
