Unit Configurations & Accessories - petMAP + II Operator's Manual

If you have trouble getting good determinations, try:
1. Calming the animal so that it is truly relaxed and not moving. Sometimes having the owner hold
the animal will make it much more comfortable and relaxed.
2. Checking cuff size for "OPTIMUM" fit and snugness.
3. Gathering more operator patience. BP measurements on awake animals are sometimes difficult
and a calm and collected measurement person is always a big plus in getting reliable BP readings.
Cold Animals: If the animal is noticeably cold, it may require 5 to 6 attempts in order to achieve any BP
reading and clearly this is not an acceptable situation for reliable and accurate BP readings. Warm the
patient with a blanket or other means before again attempting to measure BP.
Trembling Animals: It will be very difficult, or even impossible, to get accurate BP readings on a
trembling animal since the rhythmic motion of the cuff can, and often does, mimic the rhythmic beat of
the heart, which can result in inaccurate readings.
