Install
Software
Start your computer and install the
ri
-cardio
Software using the installa-
tion CD. If the CD does not automati-
cally start, use Windows Explorer to
find and run “Autorun.exe” on the CD.
Setup your
monitor
Install 2 AA batteries in the back of the
ri
-cardio
monitor. Using the PC USB
cable, connect the monitor to the com-
puter.
Communicate with
your monitor
Installing the ri -cardio Software will load
the driver(s) for the USB cable. Once the
cable is connected to the PC, the
ri
-car-
dio Software will recognize the cable and
auto-select it as the connection to the
monitor.
Program your
monitor
Select the Program icon and fill out the
parameters for a new ABP study. You
can enter patient name and ID here or
it can be added later when data is re-
trieved from the monitor.
Fit your patient with the
monitor & cuff
Choose the proper cuff size by using
the RANGE indicator and INDEX mark-
er to check for correct arm circum-
ference. Apply the cuff with the hose
exiting the top of the cuff. Be sure the
ARTERY indicator is over the brachial
artery and wrap the cuff snugly. Con-
nect the hose of the cuff to the monitor,
place the monitor in the pouch and affix
to the patient with the belt.
Prepare your patient for
the study
With the monitor on, press the Start/
Stop button on the monitor to manually
begin a BP reading. Verify the monitor
is working correctly. Prepare your pa-
tient on the operation of the monitor
by reviewing the Preparing & Educat-
ing the Patient section of the
ri -cardio
User’s Guide.
Note!
Make sure the patient knows to mini-
mize movement and to let their arm
rest slightly away from their body so
the monitor can take a successful
reading. Your patient is now ready for
the ABP study.
Retrieve ABP data from the
ri -cardio
When your patient returns from the ABP
study, remove the monitor and acces-
sories and connect the
ri -cardio to the
computer (See step 2). Start ri
-cardio
software & select the Retrieve icon. Af-
ter data retrieval, follow the on-screen
instructions to save the study. The data
from the study is now displayed.
Review ABP study &
print report

Patient Info and Physician Info tabs.
