5.3. Intended use Walk200b is an outpatient non-invasive Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABP) recorder for 24-hour monitoring. The device measures the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the heart rate. The pressure is measured with the application of the oscillometric method.
Walk200b INTRODUCTION The device is indicated for use by a doctor or personnel acting on the order of an authorised doctor, trained in the use of devices measuring ambulatory blood pressure. The device is indicated for use by patients adequately informed by the doctor of the following warnings: ...
5.4.2. Keys ON/OFF This key switches the Walk200b recorder on and off. To prevent switching it on or off by mistake, the key reacts only after 2 seconds. As with all other keys blood pressure measurement can also interrupted prematurely, causing the pressure in the cuff to be released rapidity. Warning: switch the unit on again to continue.
Walk200b INTRODUCTION Night and day This key allows waking and sleeping phases differentiated when recording, wich is important from the point of view of statistical evaluation and graphic presentation. Briefly: the patient is instructed to operate the DAY/NIGHT Key on going to bed and again when getting up in the morning. This adjusts the monitoring interval to suit the individual patient and helps you in assessing the BP profile.
Walk200b EXECUTION OF AN EXAM EXECUTION OF AN EXAM 6.1. Initial startup Connect the cuff tube with one of the cuffs supplied (according to instructions in par. 6.3), by pushing it onto the plastic connector. Connect the cuff tube with the socket on the front of the recorder housing.
The following prompt 000 in the display confirms that the memory has been erased. 6.2.3. Setting the time/date The Walk200b has an internal buffer battery that allows the clock to continue running even after the batteries have been removed. You should nevertheless check the time and date before each measurement series.
On first activation, you must carry out the pairing procedure; On the PC, click on the Bluetooth icon and select Add new Bluetooth device > Add Bluetooth or other type of device > Bluetooth > Select the walk200b serial number; if asked, use the pairing code 6624.
