Features

Portability

The recorder weighs approx. 215g (including batteries) and is compact.

The recorder is powered by LR6 type (AA) alkaline batteries. It is possible to replace the batteries with Ni-Cd rechargeable batteries.

Operation & management

Clock and automatic measurement parameters may be set as needed.

If you connect to a computer and use the optional software, clock and automatic measurement parameters can be easily set.

There are three modes for automatic measurement. Mode 1 and Mode 2 are preprogrammed. Mode 3 is user programmable.

The recorder can transmit data to a printer directly. (An adaptable printer is necessary to print the data. Refer to Section "Data Transmission to a Printer" for specifications of the TM-2480 printer.)

The recorder has the built-in chargeable Li ion battery to keep the clock and automatic measurement parameters.

Analysis

The time interval may be changed as needed.

The patient's blood pressure can be measured immediately at any time.

If you use the optional software, you can analyze the data extensively.

Smart measurement

The measurement time is shortened by proper exhaust velocity control.

The exhaust velocity adjustment is unnecessary, because the constant exhaust is properly controlled.

In the automatic measurement cycle, these inflation values and stop values at exhaust are controlled to reduce the measurement time.

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor specifications

The A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor is a cutting-edge device designed for the accurate measurement of blood pressure over an extended period. This innovative tool is particularly beneficial for diagnosing hypertension and evaluating blood pressure variability, making it essential for both healthcare professionals and patients.

One of the main features of the A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor is its ability to perform measurements during the patient’s normal daily activities. This is crucial for capturing accurate readings, as blood pressure can fluctuate significantly throughout the day due to various factors such as stress, physical activity, and diet. By documenting blood pressure readings at set intervals over 24 hours, this monitor provides a comprehensive overview of the patient's cardiovascular health.

The device utilizes advanced oscillometric technology, which enhances accuracy by analyzing the oscillations in the arterial wall during cuff inflation. This method is recognized for its reliability compared to traditional auscultatory techniques. The monitor is equipped with a large memory capacity, allowing it to store numerous readings which can be analyzed later. This feature is invaluable for doctors who need to review the patient’s blood pressure patterns over time.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of the A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor. The device typically features an intuitive display and controls that make it easy to navigate through settings and review stored data. Many models offer wireless connectivity, enabling seamless data transfer to smartphones or computers for further analysis and reporting. This capability aids healthcare providers in timely decision-making regarding treatment options.

Additionally, the A&D monitor is designed with comfort in mind. It comes with a soft, adjustable cuff that can accommodate a range of arm sizes, ensuring an accurate fit and comfortable experience for the patient. The device is ergonomically designed and lightweight, making it easy to wear throughout the day without interfering with daily activities.

The A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor not only promotes better patient compliance but also enhances clinical outcomes by enabling continuous and accurate monitoring of blood pressure in real-world settings. Overall, this device embodies the convergence of technology and healthcare, providing invaluable data that fosters informed decisions and improves patient care.
