Overview
The Spacelabs Healthcare Models 90207 and 90217 Ambulatory Blood Pressure (ABP) monitors are
small, lightweight, battery-powered monitors designed to take blood pressure and heart rate measure-
ments for 24 or 48 hours, or for longer periods of time.
These measurements are recorded within the monitors and may be transferred to an ABP Analysis
System (FT1000A/FT2000A or equivalent), the personal computer (PC) interface, the base station, or
in a Remote Connection mode (using modems).

The monitors are carried in pouches that are strapped and/or belted to the side of the patient. Blood

•
Display the cuff pressure at each bleed step
