Introduction
This directions for use manual is a comprehensive guide designed to help you understand the capabilities and operation
of the ProBP 2400 digital blood pressure device. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to setup, congure, use,
troubleshoot, or maintain the device.
Intended use
The ProBP 2400 is a non-invasive digital blood pressure device using oscillometric technique and an upper-arm blood
pressure cuff to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP).
The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and gives a warning signal with the reading
once the irregular heartbeat is detected.
The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected
preeclampsia.
The ProBP 2400 combines the advantages of an automatic blood pressure device and auscultatory sphygmomanometer. It
is designed to provide convenient, accurate and reliable ofce blood pressure measurements according to guidelines of the
European Society of Hypertension (ESH)1,American HeartAssociation (AHA)2, and World Health Organization (WHO)3with
the only modication that the ProBP2400 performs 3 repeated measurements always, regardless of the result of the rst two
measurements.

Pregnancy
Approximately 20% of women develop hypertension during pregnancy (Pre-eclampsia or Toxemia) which may affect
pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia, can usually be recognized by a clear increase in blood pressure and high urine protein levels after
20 weeks of gestation. Since many oscillometric devices appeared to be unsuitable for use in pregnancy and Pre-eclampsia
health care authorities require that blood pressure monitors used for this vulnerable patient group are specically tested.
The WelchAllyn ProBP 2400 digital blood pressure monitor has successfully passed this validation and therefore may be
recommended for use during pregnancy and Pre-eclampsia.

Fitting the cuff properly
1) Place the cuff over the upper arm so that the air tube
and artery mark arrow point towards the lower arm.
The artery mark on the cuff must be placed over the
brachial artery.
2) Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower edge
of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm ( ¾ to 1 inch)
above the elbow.
2-3 cm
(3/4 to 1 inch)

3) Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4) Leave free space with the size of 2 ngers between
the arm of the patient and the cuff. Excessive tightness
may cause venous congestion and discoloration of
the limb. If the cuff is wrapped too loosely, it cannot
be inated properly and the measured values may be
inaccurate. Remove all clothing covering or constricting
the measurement arm. Clothing may interfere with
measurement accuracy.

5) Cuffs that do not t properly may lead to inaccurate
readings. 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

Start ination – Press the Start/Stop Button to start ination
of the cuff.
When maximum ination pressure is reached, the ProBP
2400 will automatically begin linear deation at a rate of
3mmHg/sec.
Re-inate – Push and Hold the M Button during deation
when the cuff pressure is below 200mmHg to re-inate for as
long as the button is held (up to a max of 200mmHg) Release
the button to continue deation. An additional push and hold
of the M Button will allow reination past 200mmHg to a max
of 299mmHg.
