  • Page 4: Introduction To Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring

    Introduction to Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring The rationale for using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is based upon the enormous variability of a person’s blood pressure over time. A traditional view is that adverse effects of blood pressure (BP) on the circulatory system depend on the average level of pressure over time. However, scientific evidence and sound theoretical reasons support multiple measurements of BP as better predictors of pressure-related clinical outcomes than single measurements.

  • Page 5: Introduction To The Oscar Express Abp Telemonitoring System

    Introduction to the Oscar Express ABP Telemonitoring System The Oscar Express Ambulatory Blood Pressure Telemonitoring System is designed to provide easy and effective ABP monitoring at remote sites managing the clinical process of data collection, while a central terminal manages the data handling and BP report generation. The Oscar Express system is made up of a central terminal, and multiple remote sites each operating one or more Oscar 2 monitors.

  • Page 11 Setting up a Remote Site Set-up Option 1 (recommended) This option requires a second phone line separate from the analog phone line being used by the modem. This second phone line is a dedicated voice line and can be part of a PBX office or other digital phone systems.
  • Page 12 Setting up a Remote Site Set-up Option 2 This option should be used if only one phone line is available at the remote site. In this set-up, the same line is used for both voice and data communication. The remote site makes a person-to-person call to the central terminal with the phone connected to the modem and begins with voice communication.
