A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Data Transfer, Data Transmission to a Printer

Page 27

Data Transfer

The recorder transfers data to a printer or computer using the RS-232C terminal.

We recommend analysis of the data using the optional "Doctor Pro" analysis software.

Caution

Cap the RS-232C terminal to prevent dust and foreign matter from entering when this terminal is not in use.

Remove the recorder and cuff from the patient, when the recorder is connected to a printer or computer.

Data Transmission to a Printer

Caution

The recorder intensely consumes the battery power while connected to the RS-232C cable. Disconnect the cable when not actually transferring data.

Maintain the power-on state while transmitting the data so that the data successfully transmitted.

The RS-232C cable is required when connecting to a printer.

The printer (to print the data) must have a serial inter face and adapt to the RS- 232C protocol of the recorder.

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.
