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.
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.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff
connector into the cuff connector socket.
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.

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
The WatchBP Ofce ABI device measures the true
mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patient. Each
measurement includes a single MAP value. The
average measurement will display the average MAP
value. When viewing in Memory mode, the MAP
value will be displayed with the systolic and diastolic
pressure once every 5 seconds.
PP (Pulse Pressure)
The WatchBP Ofce ABI device provides the pulse
pressure (PP) of the patient: pulse pressure = systolic
- diastolic pressure. Each measurement includes
the calculation of a single PP value. The average
measurement will display the average PP value.
When viewing in Memory mode, the PP value will be
displayed with the systolic/diastolic pressure once
every 5 seconds.
*The Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) in this device is determined
from the maximum peak of the oscillometric envelope curve.

Special Function (cont.)
Appearance of the atrial brillation

The WatchBP Ofce ABI is designed to detect
asymptomatic atrial brillation during blood pressure
measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode. If two out of
three measurements in the «SCREEN» Mode detect
atrial brillation, the Ab icon is displayed. This device
is able to detect atrial brillation with high accuracy: a
sensitivity of 97% and a specicity of 89%.* If the atrial
brillation icon is displayed after the measurement, it is
recommended to visit a doctor.

About Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial brillation is a common heart rhythm
problem. It affects more than 2 million people in
North America. It is more common in older age and
it is found in 18% individuals aged 85 years and
older. It is a common cause of major strokes. About
15% of all strokes are caused by atrial brillation.
The elderly, or those with high blood pressure,
diabetes or heart disease are more likely to get a
stroke if they have atrial brillation.
Atrial brillation is a rhythm problem that can last
from a few minutes, to days or weeks and even
years. Atrial brillation can cause blood clots in the
upper chambers of the heart (the atria). These clots
can break off and ow to the brain causing a stroke.
The use of blood thinners, such as warfarin, can
lower the risk of a stroke in patients with atrial
brillation.
A doctor can conrm the presence of Ab by using
an ECG. Sometimes Ab is present incidentally.
Therefore, a doctor may not see it on regularly
scheduled visits.
One method of detecting Ab is by mean of
palpations. This method is not very reliable. Failure
of detecting Ab may lead to the occurrence of a
stoke in the end; whereas early detection may lead
to early treatment that can signicantly reduce the
chances of a stroke.
Special Function (cont.)
ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)
The systolic blood pressure values of a person’s arm
and leg need to be measured In order to determine
ABI (Ankle Brachial Index).
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is then calculated
using the quotient of the systolic pressure from the
leg measurement and the systolic pressure from the
arm measurement.
A low ankle-brachial index (ABI) is indicative of
systemic vascular disease, and should place a patient
in the high-risk category.
