1. OVERVIEW
DB-51H Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring System is
a non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor
capable of measuring blood pressure at pre-programmed
intervals throughout the day. It is intended to be used
at home to record patient blood pressure over a 24 hour
period for
gathering trending information in non-critical settings.
It is not intended to be used as real time monitoring
of patients in critical care environment.
It is intended for use by a trained medical practitioner as
an aid or adjunct to diagnosis and treatment.
DB-51H unit is worn by a waist belt or shoulder strap and
is connected to a cuff wrapped around the non-dominant
upper arm. The cuff is inated automatically at
pre-programmed intervals. Heart pulse can also be
measured.

6. TAKING MEASUREMENT
6.1 Applying the arm cuff
1.Toapplythecuff,simplyslidethesleeveupthepatient’s
 arm,ensuringthesizeindicatorisatthetopofthecuff.
 Thecuffshouldbeapproximately1-2cmbetween
the bottom of the cuff and your elbow joint.
2. Connect the tube from the cuff to the unit. Drape the tube
 overthepatient’sshoulder,aroundtheneck,acrossthe
opposite side of the body.
3. Put the unit into the pouch. Attach the pouch to the
patient using either the waist belt or shoulder strap
 dependingonthepatient’spreference.
4.Toensureproperunitoperation,startameasurement
 bypressing“START”button.Ifproblemoccurs,review
the setup and tting of the system.
6.2 Preparing and Educating the Patient
Whenthemeasurementstarts,thepatientshould:
• avoidexcessmovementduringmeasurements,
• relaxtheinstrumentedarm,slightlyawayfromthebody,
• avoidhandmovement,
• avoidexingthemusclesduringmeasurement,
• notremovethecuffbetweenmeasurement.
The patient can stop a measurement in progress
by pressing “ ” button.
The patient can start a measurement at any time by pres-
sing “START” button.

6.3 Irregular Heartbeat
This unit has a unique feature that alerts user of irregular
heartbeat detection during measurement.
Note:Anirregularheartbeatisdened
as a heartbeat rhythm that has a
variation of more than 25% from the
average rhythm detected during
measurement.
If such irregular rhythm occurs twice or
moreduringthesamemeasurement,
the display screen will show the pulse
value and “IH” symbol alternately.
Example:(90/IH).
Note:pleaseconsultyourdoctorifirregular
heartbeat occurs often.
Regular but Below Normal Heartbeat
If the monitor detects a pulse rate
Below 60 beats per minute during
measurement,themonitorwill
displaythepulsevalueand“LO”
symbolalternately.Example:(58/LO).
Regular but Above Normal Heartbeat
If the monitor detects a pulse rate
above 100 beats per minute during
measurement,themonitorwilldisplay
the pulse value and “HI” symbol
alternately.Example:(102/HI).
