Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Rear Panel The rear panels of both monitors contain program input and data output communication ports. On the 90207, the power ON/OFF switch is also located on the rear panel. On the 90217, the ON/OFF switch is located on the top panel. Replacing the Batteries “AA”...
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Note: Once the lithium battery has been completely discharged, it is considered non-hazardous and can be safely discarded. Initializing the Monitor The ABP monitors must be initialized prior to the start of patient monitoring. Initialization specifies the monitoring period, patient information, time format, measurement interval, monitor tone ON/OFF during selected periods, event code display, and whether or not to display pressure values.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Connection Procedure 1 If you are using an older 90207 with a 1200 modem, set the switches on the modem as follows: Switch # Setting at monitor site down down down down down 2 Connect the serial port cable (P/N 012-0096-00) between the monitor and the modem. Note: If call waiting or call forwarding are options on a telephone used to transfer data, ensure that both are deactivated.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors 5 When the transfer of information is complete, the ABP monitor will beep. Voice communication is restored after the monitor beeps. • Power OFF the monitor and disconnect the monitor from the modem. • If direct connection between the monitor and the base station is used, power OFF the monitor and disconnect it from the ABP data interface unit.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Office Check Mode The monitor automatically enters an office check mode for the first five measurements immediately following initialization. This allows you to verify the performance of the monitor on an individual patient without the need for re-initialization to reset the display features. While in the office check mode, the monitor operates as follows: •...
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Preparing the Patient and Precautions for Use • Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic, or automated sphygmomanometers.

The center of the bladder location is marked on the outside of the cuff.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors ALTERNATIVE #1 ALTERNATIVE #2 7 Connect the hose to the monitor. 8 To verify proper monitor operation, take one or more blood pressure readings. Push the START/STOP key to begin a measurement. Spacelabs Medical recommends taking three readings in the office so that the patient becomes comfortable with operation of the monitor and the measurement process.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Correlating with Manual Readings The monitor bleeds pressure in discrete steps (not continuously), using the oscillometric method of blood pressure determination. If manual pressure readings are taken simultaneously with the monitor readings, interpolation is required to accurately correlate monitor systolic and diastolic pressure values with the manual auscultatory pressures.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Cleaning the Cuff and Carrying Pouch Small soiled or stained areas may be cleaned by gentle scrubbing with a sponge or cloth soaked in a mild soap and water solution. The cuff wrap (with the air bladder removed) and the pouch are machine washable on “delicate” cycle only.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Event Codes The monitor displays an event code whenever an event prevents the unit from successfully completing a blood pressure measurement. The two numerical digits of the event code indicate the reason the measurement was aborted. The table below lists event codes that are displayed on the monitor, as well as event codes that appear on the Event Code Report.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Monitor Report Condition EC99 Unexpected or contradictory data (such as a negative cuff pressure). EC16 Low battery detected prior to start of measurement. Low battery detected after measurement started. Usually caused by the pump EC26 drawing enough current to lower the battery voltage. The report does not print an event code for this condition, which is a low backup battery.
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors Accuracy Procedure To check the accuracy of the monitor: 1 Disconnect the cuff hose from the monitor. Connect the T-tube splitter to the monitor pneumatic connector and the sphygmomanometer. 2 Wrap the pressure cuff around the rigid cylinder, and then fasten the cuff. Connect the cuff hose to the remaining connection on the T-tube splitter.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors 3 Press START/STOP on the monitor; the monitor should read approximately 165. Compare the readings on the monitor and the manometer as the pressure bleeds down. The monitor reading should be within three millimeters or 2%of the manometer reading, whichever is greater (±...
