Batteries - Meditech ABPM-05 User Manual

temporary interference to blood flow on any limb where intravascular access or
therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present. The pressurization of the cuff
can temporarily cause loss of function of simultaneously used monitoring medical
equipment on the same limb.
No relevance can be shown in the application of the cuff and its pressurization on
the arm of the side of a mastectomy.
The cuff should be applied as tightly as comfortable for the patient.
A too loose application may result in longer or aborted measurements, because the
device has to pump even to reach the proper tightness. Longer measurements may
cause inconvenience for the patient, and aborted measurements result in less data
for evaluation. If the patient removes the cuff for a period during the monitoring
session, it should be reapplied with appropriate tightness, with help from another
person, if necessary.
The cuff is the component which, by definition of the relevant standard, is protected
against a defibrillator discharge. The substitution of a cuff different from that
supplied by Meditech might result in measurement error and/or in certain cases it
causes damage to the main recorder unit.

Batteries

Meditech ABPM-05 and BlueBP-05
operate either with two 1.5V AA normal
batteries or with
rechargeable batteries.
A set of properly charged, high capacity
batteries will enable both recorders to
perform 250
measurements during a 24-48 hour
long monitoring session. If you use
alkaline batteries, choose high capacity,
long-life products to enable reliable
operation.
In order to change batteries, take the recorder out of the holder pouch and remove
the battery compartment cover on the back-side. Place two properly charged, high
capacity AA rechargeable or two new, long-life AA alkaline batteries into the
compartment then close it.
Use standard alkaline or NiCd/NiMH rechargeable batteries
Use only standard long-life (alkaline) batteries, or standard NiCd or
NiMH rechargeable batteries of the proper size. Do not use lithium
batteries. Do not mix different battery types; do not mix new and old
batteries. Never use batteries of low or unknown quality or pre-used batteries, as
they may not cover the power needs of the recorder, and they may damage the
recorder, or they may contain acidic electrolytes which may leak and corrode
electronic components. Never use batteries damaged in any way.
