accurate of ce blood pressure accurate of ce blood pressure

WatchBP Ofce ABI is a professional automatic ofce blood pressure measurement device
which can determine the ankle brachial index (ABI) and inter arm difference (IAD) fast
and accurately. The ABI is a measure for the assessment of peripheral arterial disease. The
WatchBP Ofce ABI can perform automated dual-arm measurements for the most reliable
IAD. In addition, the WatchBP ofce ABI can detect atrial brillation1,2 with high reliability.
ABI, IAD and Ab are all important prognostic indicators for cardiovascular risk which make
the WatchBP ofce ABI an important tool in the screening for cardiovascular risks.

Before using WatchBP Of ce ABI
Selecting the correct cuff
Two different sizes of cuffs for upper arms are provided
with the WatchBP Of ce ABI: Medium and Large. Use
the cuff marker to select the cuff size that best matches
the circumference of the patient’s upper arm.
Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the left (or right) upper
arm so that the air tube and artery mark
arrow point toward the lower arm.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the
lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to
3cm ( ¾ to 1 inch) above the elbow.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave a little free space between the arm of
the patient and the cuff. Two ngers should t
between the arm and the cuff. Clothing must not
constrict the arm. Remove all clothing covering or
constricting the measurement arm.
5) It may result in incorrect blood pressure readings
if the cuffs are not tted properly. Use a different
size cuff if the range Index at the end of the cuff
does not fall into the range specied by the
range stripes.
6) Apply the same steps to the other arm if a double
arm measurement is required.
* The range index of cuff should
fall into this range.

Application of the ankle cuff
(in ABI mode)
1) The patient has to lie down in supine position.
2) Place the ankle cuff on the leg. Make sure the
edge of the ankle cuff lies approximately 2 to 3cm
( ¾ to 1 inch) above the ankle and notice that the
artery mark is on the posterior tibial artery.
