Taking a Measurement
The ADview allows you to take BP measurements automatically like a monitor or manually like a
sphygmomanometer using manual Sphygmode™.
In automatic mode, the cuff inflates and deflates automatically. Initial inflation reaches a cuff pressure of
160 mmHg; the cuff then re-inflates as necessary to obtain a reading. Deflation is optimized to reduce
measurement time and obtain an accurate result.
In manual Sphygmode, you inflate the cuff manually using the Sphygmode MAN button in place of an
inflation bulb of a sphygmomanometer. When you release the Sphygmode MAN button, the cuff
automatically deflates at the AHA recommended rate of 3mmHg/sec. Simply use your stethoscope to
determine your patient’s blood pressure.
Taking an Automated Measurement
1. With the patient prepped as described earlier (page 19), and the device powered on, depress the
automatic button that is located in front of the BP module and denoted by the cuffed arm icon
. The cuff inflates to approximately 160 mmHg, as indicated in the systolic area of the
display.
2. Once the cuff pressure reaches its target, the device controls the deflation and, in some instances,
re-inflation of the cuff in order to accurately measure BP. The cuff pressure displays in the
systolic area and is also indicated by the vertical LED bar to the left. When you hear a single
short beep, indicating the end of the measurement cycle, read the systolic and diastolic pressures,
displayed under the SYS and DIA symbols, and the pulse rate, displayed under the
symbol.
Want a MAP
reading? NOTE:
MAP available
outside USA
only
By default, your ADview measures systolic and diastolic BP, and HR. To obtain a
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) reading, hold down the Sphygmode manual button
as you toggle power to on. On power up, the MAP icon lights up on the LED
display. Now, once measurements are complete, the display will alternate between HR
and MAP. To exit MAP mode, power the device off and again hold down the
Sphygmode manual button as you toggle power to on. On power up, the MAP
icon will flash and disappear. MAP will no longer be displayed.
3. If there is an error in obtaining a measurement, indicated by three beeps, please refer to the
troubleshooting tips on page 38 and take the appropriate remedial measure.
