I. INTRODUCTION
This User’s Guide is divided into two sections: Software
Guide and Hardware Guide. Together, they provide
technical and operational information, along with
procedures for the setup and use of the DynaPulse 5000A
(DP5000A) non-invasive 24-hour blood pressure
monitoring and recording system.
The DP5000A is intended to be used by operators who are
familiar with automated, digital, non-invasive blood
pressure monitors. Since the documentation contains
important safety and operational information, all operators
of the DP5000A system should read both manuals before
using the system. Pulse Metric, Inc., recommends that this
User’s Guide be kept together with the DP5000A system at
all times for quick reference.
Interpretation of the blood pressure and heart rate data
recorded by the DP5000A system shall be performed by a
physician or qualified operator only. No changes in
medication should be made without first consulting a
physician.
Pulse Metric, Inc. does not claim complete accuracy of the
DP5000A under certain conditions such as excessive motion
or vibration. Patient conditions such as extreme heart rates,
extreme blood pressures, and various arrhythmias may also
hinder the readings.
