ing
System is inten
ded for measuring systolic pre
ssure, diastolic
pressure a
nd pulse rate over a period of 24 ho
urs at
pr
eprogrammed interv
a
ls.
It is
intended for use
at home or clinical
settings on patients who are eighteen (18) years and older and who ha

beats or
atrial
fi
brillation, and wh
o
se ar
m ci
rcumferences are between 21 cm (8.3 in
) and 42 cm
(16.5 in).
Blood pressure and pulse rate readings obtaine
d u
sing the

are intended for use
by qual
ified healthcare personnel
as an aid to diagnosis and treatment
.
The
B

Bl

to reduce

AFH works within th

This is done by the
technology de

avoiding the frequenci
