ADView 2 Description and Operation
The ADView 2 can perform automatic blood pressure, pulse oximetry and body temperature measurements for
clinical professionals. For measuring blood pressure, a blood pressure cuff is placed around the patient's non-
dominant upper arm. The cuff is inflated automatically and blood pressure is determined by the oscillometric
method—which senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff. Measurement of the
frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate to also be measured. The pulse oximetry function non-invasively
measures the patient's percent oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin using principles of plethysmography via an
SpO
sensor placed on the patient's finger. Temperature can be measured using an oral/axillary or a rectal
2
temperature probe containing a thermistor that generates a voltage based on changes in temperature. These
voltages are recorded by the temperature circuitry. The ADView 2 is a portable device, approximately 205 x 190 x 140
mm in size and weighs approximately 1440 g without battery. Control buttons allow the user to stop/start a BP
measurement, save a set of measurements to memory, change between BP modes, and return to the home screen.
There is also a selection knob that is used to scroll and select different device options. The backlit LCD display shows
the user device status and measurement information. The device uses a microprocessor with software, which is not
accessible to the user. The unit is powered by a single rechargeable lithium-ion battery at the rear of the device. Two
USB-A port connections can be used to connect, an optional printer, barcode scanner or Wi-Fi dongle. There is also
RJ11 Ethernet port for network connectivity, and a mini-USB port used to connect the device to a PC or laptop for
advanced device configuration.
Note: For purposes of this manual, the ADView 2 (Model 9005) may be referred to as "the ADView 2, or "the device."
