  • Page 7: How The Diasys Integra Ii Functions

    How the Diasys Integra II functions The Diasys Integra II is a non-invasive automatic ambulatory blood pressure recorder. It has two standard modes of operating, the Auscultatory mode and the Oscillometric mode. The required mode is selected with the DiasySoft or HolterSoft software.

  • Page 8: Auscultatory Mode

    When the Diasys Integra II is in the auscultatory mode it can benefit from ECG gating which, by opening a “gate” after detection of the QRS complex, increases the accuracy of measurements made in an artefacted environment (very active patient, for example).

  • Page 9: Bp Measurement Accuracy

    Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultatory method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Manual, Electronic or automated sphygmomanometers. • Diasys Integra II Manual - GB - Revision 4...
