INTRODUCTION
Device Description
II
petMAP g
is a small, lightweight and portable blood pressure measurement device designed for
veterinary use. It is capable of measuring blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures)
and heart rate. The measured values are displayed and trended graphically and numerically on the
device. Data trended on the petMAP g
integrated SD memory card slot.
A user interacts with petMAP g
alarms for systolic blood pressure and can set a BP cycle time for automatic reminders to start another
BP measurement.
Intended Uses
II
petMAP g
is intended to be used on veterinary patients when measuring blood pressure and heart rate
are desired. It can be used on a wide variety of veterinary patients; however, it is primarily designed for
companion animals. petMAP g
include use for surgical, ICU and trauma monitoring as well as use in the exam room and during
procedures (imaging, dentals, etc.).
Features of petMAP g
Portability: petMAP g
pressure (BP) measurement device in veterinary medicine. It is a single device that can be used
in the OR, ICU, trauma, dentals, exam room, transport and for mobile practices! And when not
in use, it can be in your pocket... ready for action... anywhere, any time.
Accuracy: The g
(PetMAP Proprietary Optimizations) and a continuously computed NSV (Nominal Session Value).
petMAP g
II
utilizes the oscillometric method of BP determination which simplifies the
measurement of blood pressure over traditional Doppler techniques. petMAP g
all of the BP parameters (systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate),
enabling accurate diagnosis and management of hypertension and useful monitoring during
surgical anesthesia and other procedures.
Sensitivity: petMAP's dual channel oscillometry provides great sensitivity which permits BP
measurement even in small cats and dogs, as well as in larger animals, including horses, when
set in the non‐optimized mode setting. Additionally, for companion animals, PPO enhances the
accuracy achieved by allowing the user to select the species (dog or cat) and the cuff placement
site (forearm, tail or hind foot). PPO is unique to petMAP devices and when used, improves the
correlation of the readings to direct, intra‐arterial pressure measurements.
Session BP values: Like all petMAPs, petMAP g
feature, the BP "Nominal Session Value" or NSV. The NSV is not a straight average of the BP
readings; rather, it is a substantially more robust statistical measure of the animal's nominal BP
during the BP session since it eliminates high and low outliers and gives more weight to the
