  • Page 7: Preliminary Remark

    Preliminary remark Please read this user manual carefully before initial use. This user manual is a part of a modular system comprising two parts: • User manual for boso ABI-Serie • User manual for boso profil-manager XD To be able to use all of the device functions of the boso ABI-Serie, please use both of the available user manuals.
  • Page 8: Intended Use

    “Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of automated type non-invasive sphygmomanometers.” The metrology test – every 2 years at the latest – can be performed by the manufacturer, the authority responsible for metrology, or persons who meet the requirements of the German Medical Device Operator Ordinance (MP-BetreibV), section 6.
  • Page 9: Important Information

    Important information Cardiac arrhythmia can impair the measurement accuracy of the device and lead to faulty measurements. Adverse effects may occur in persons with cardiac pacemakers if they have a weak pulse. The device is suitable for patients of any age whose upper arm circumference is between 22 and 48 cm and whose ankle circumference is between 18 and 38 cm.
  • Page 10 The cuff must not be fitted over wounds as this could lead to further injury. Ensure that the cuffs are not placed on an arm or leg of which the arteries or veins are undergoing or have undergone medical treatment, e.g. a shunt. In the case of women who have had a mastectomy, the cuffs should not be placed on the arm on the side from which the breast has been removed.
  • Page 11: The Ankle-Brachial Index

    The ankle-brachial index To determine the ABI value, the systolic blood pressure values of the arms and legs must be measured. Blood pressure readings are expressed in mmHg (mm mercury column). The ABI value is calculated as the ratio of the systolic pressure of the leg measurement (the averaged pressure of the posterior tibial artery and anterior tibial artery) and the higher systolic pressure of the arm measurements.
  • Page 12: Preparation Of The Abi Measurement

    Use only the boso power pack (art. no. 410-7-154). This power pack has been stabilised with regard to output, accurately set, and correctly polarised. Conventional power packs can damage the electronics and result in loss of the manufacturer's warranty. To establish equipotential bonding, connect a suitable conductor to the intended equipotential bonding on the device.

  • Page 15: Performing The Abi Measurement

    Performing the ABI measurement A measurement can be discontinued at any time by pressing the “Cancel measurement” button in the software or the STOP button on the device; upon doing so, all cuffs will be automatically deflated. Alternatively, the cuffs can be removed from the limbs at any time.
  • Page 16 The integrated valves automatically open to rapidly deflate the cuffs once the measurement is complete. The measured values are displayed in the boso profil-manager XD. Individual remarks can be added for each measurement performed using the “Remarks” button. Remark templates can be defined and saved for later use. Screenshot | boso profi l-manager XD Fig.

  • Page 18 Storing the ABI measurement To store a measurement, click on the “Save measurement” button. The reading must be repeated if it is obviously incorrect! Blood pressure is a dynamic parameter and can be influenced by various factors, such as: • Movement before or during the measurement •...
  • Page 19: After Use

    Performing a repeat ABI/PWV measurement A gap of at least 2 minutes must be left between 2 consecutive readings. To perform a repeat measurement, press the “ABI measurement” or “ABI+PWV measurement” button again. To perform a measurement on only one limb, press the START button next to the corresponding symbol.
