Automatic measurement

❏This measurement starts or stops using the AUTO ON/OFF key. When this measurement is started, the recorder begins to work in accordance with preset time intervals from the preset time of the internal clock. Refer to "Selection for the automatic measurement".

❏In the automatic measurement, an "A" appears in the upper left of the display.

❏The recorder automatically measures the patient's blood pressure at the time that is pointed out by "the frequency" and "the start time" (by the programed time intervals).

❏When a measurement error occurs and there is 10 minutes until the next measurement, the measurement is retried after approx. 30 seconds.

❏If a measurement is retried, only the data from the retry is saved.

❏The recorder automatically adjusts the proper pressure, exhaust velocity and end of measurement.

❏Refer to "Selection for the automatic measurement" and "Automatic measure- ment by programed time intervals" about operation and entering parameters.

Stopping a measurement

❏If you press the

START STOP

key during a measurement, the recorder exhausts

the air and stops the measurement.

Concealing the measurement value

❏This function works only while using automatic measurement.

❏This function does not display the SYS, DIA or pulse rate for the automatic measurement, but the data is saved in memory.

❏This function can select "reveal" or "conceal" at "Parameters for the display and clock". Refer to this section.

❏If you select "conceal", the recorder displays the clock during a measurement.

❏If you reset the recorder, this parameter is set to "reveal".

Pressurization

❏The pressure is automatically selected by the recorder while in the automatic measurement mode.

❏The first pressure is set to approx. 185 mmHg. This value automatically adjusts to the proper value after the first measurement. If the first inflation is not successful, the recorder retries twice.

❏If you reset the recorder, the first inflation value is reset to 185 mmHg.

Memory

❏The TM-2430 recorder can store 300 sets of data.

A data set consists of a SYS, a DIA and a pulse rate.

❏When memory becomes full, the recorder displays an "M". Until you clear the data, you can not measure blood pressure.

When the recorder saves data for more than one patient, data management becomes complication. We recommend that patient data is transferred and cleared from memory.

When a "B" is displayed, the backup batteries that is preserving a patient`s data are weak. Please replace batteries as soon as possible.

ID number

❏If you reset the recorder, the ID number is set to "1".

❏The ID number can be set using the optional software.

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.
