TIP: When you send results to memory, make note of the "Memory Location" number to keep track of an individual
patient's measurements. Then later on, you can match the Memory Locator number with a patient's name if you pull
up or print out results for documentation.
The memory will hold up to 99 records. At 100 readings the device will continue to save, but will save by overwriting
the oldest records.
5. Using ADView 2 for BP Measurement
The ADView 2 provides flexibility to allow you to measure BP using several different
modes,
depending on your
facility's preferred procedure, the patient's condition or other care considerations.

Step 1: Preparing the Patient

Patient Position
According to AHA guidelines, the patient should be seated for at least five minutes before taking a blood pressure
reading. The patient should be seated with feet flat on the floor and back supported. The patient's upper arm should
be fully supported and resting at heart level. Encourage the patient to relax, and to be still and quiet.
Select and position BP cuff
Selecting the wrong size cuff will produce an inaccurate blood pressure measurement. When wrapped around the
patient's arm, the Cuff Index Line should fall within the Range Markers printed on the cuff. If not, select a larger or
smaller cuff to ensure optimal BP measurement accuracy. The Artery Marker printed on the cuff must point to the
brachial artery, located inside the patient's upper arm, between bicep and tricep. Wrap the cuff snugly around the
patient's upper arm, so that the bottom edge of the cuff is approximately 1 inch above elbow joint.
 

Step 2: Select Between Adult Vs Pediatric Mode

The ADView 2 offers two different measurement modes for two very different types of patients: Adults and Pediatric
patients (children between the ages of 3 and 12).
To switch between Adult and Pediatric modes:
: Adult BP Mode icon
: Pediatric BP Mode icon
Hold the Toggle Mode button
down for 4 seconds until the adult and pediatric icons start blinking.
