However, to prevent electromagnetic interference with other devices, do not use mobile phones near the recorder. If the recorder is located near strong electromagnetic fields, noise may affect the waveforms and malfunctions may occur.
  • Page 14 Caution If there is static electricity in the area of use (discharges from devices or the surrounding area) Before using the recorder, ensure that the operator and patient have discharged any static electricity. Humidify the room. Use close to an IEEE802.11g/b/n wireless LAN device may cause mutual interference to occur, which may result in reduced communication speeds or prevent connection.
  • Page 15 Precautions For Safe Measurement This section describes precautions for measurement and the sensor. Notify the patient of following content and explain it to them. Guide the patient in the correct use of the device. Blood Pressure Measurement Warning Ensure the tube is not bent excessively and that air flows properly.
  • Page 16 Caution Wear the cuff at the same level as heart. (If the level is different, an error in the measurement value occurs.) The recorder responds to artifact and external impact. If there are any doubts in the measurement value, measure blood pressure by auscultation or palpation.
  • Page 17 Note Blood pressure cannot be measured correctly if the patient is moving or talking during measurement. Clinical trials have not been conducted on newborn infants and pregnant women. Consult a doctor before use if you have had a mastectomy. Cuff Warning Dispose of cuffs contaminated by blood to prevent infectious disease from spreading.

    1. Introduction Thank you for your Purchase! The TM-2441 ambulatory blood pressure recorder enables accurate measurement of patient blood pressure automatically for preset times (e.g. 24-hours continuously). This manual explains the settings, operation, modes and programs for blood pressure measurement, as well as communication with a dedicated peripheral, maintenance, specifications and warnings.
  • Page 26 Purpose of use The recorder is equipped with two modes for blood pressure measurement. Blood pressure values can be used for consulting with doctors and self-health management. Automatic blood pressure measurement (A-BPM) This mode can specify six pairs of arbitrary start times and intervals for every 24 hours and can automatically measure and record blood pressure.
  • Page 27 Extensive analytical performance The measurement interval time can be set for the automatic blood pressure measurement. The blood pressure can be measured immediately using manual measurement at any time. S-BPM is equipped with five programs for varying conditions. The analysis can be carried out effectively using the ABPM Data Manager installed on the computer (dedicated peripheral).
