  • Page 10: Usage Information

    1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor Usage Information Warning: DO NOT OVER INFLATE the pressure cuff. Severe damage to major blood vessels, capillaries, and nerves is possible. Never exceed an inflation pressure in excess of 30 mmHg over expected systolic pressure. For an average teenager, a systolic pressure of 110 mmHg is expected.
  • Page 11 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor Blood pressure instructions: While taking blood pressure can be an individual process, it is easier to have the assistance of another person. For all blood pressure measurements, to get the most accurate results it is important to have the user sit down for a few minutes before having their blood pressure taken.
  • Page 12 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor Image 1.0 Image 1.1 Manual approach (gives an understanding of how an automated blood pressure monitor works): 1. Follow instructions form the Automated section for fitting the cuff and installing the sensor. 2. Connect the Blood Pressure Sensor to EasySense2.
  • Page 13 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor similar to those below will be recorded: See image 2.1 below 10. Use the Data Selection tool (Tools -> Select Data) to select just the portion when the green ‘Pulse Amplitude’ data is plotted – i.e. between about 10s and 50s. See image 2.2 below 11.
  • Page 14 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor Image 2.1 Image 2.2 Traditional Approach: 1. An analogue pressure gauge is also included with Blood Pressure kit. This can be attached to the cuff instead of the Blood Pressure sensor. By using an additional Stethoscope (product code 3178) and listening for the Korotkoff sounds whilst deflating the cuff, blood pressure values can be determined.
  • Page 15 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor Additional Help & Guidance Sometimes, despite your best attempts the BP will not be giving a sensible value. This is almost certainly down to technique; the following information can help you diagnose why results are erratic.
  • Page 16 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor The annotations indicate the areas of a good set of data. = a clean, “even” set of pulses immediately after the tall inflation pulses. Green = the change in pulse amplitude the algorithm that produces the BP is looking for.
  • Page 17 1155 - Wireless Blood Pressure Sensor In this example the many pressure peaks in the period ringed have prevented any meaningful values (diastolic and systolic data are virtually the same). Normally you will find after a few attempts that you will quickly develop a good collection protocol and you will be able to remove the graphical representation of the data.
