1-3 Monitoring Device Review

The following section briefly reviews the devices and how t hey may be used with this software.

A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitors are used to record an individual’s blood pressure over an extended period of time, normally 24-72 hours. The monitor is worn by the patient. The monitor non-invasively records the patient’s systolic/diastolic blood pressure and heart rate based on predetermined intervals and conditions.

With a UA-767PC, the blood pressure data on individuals for a long period of time can be managed and blood pressure trends are indicated clearly by using this software.

The user may divide each 24-hour period into several time intervals. Within each period the monitor may be programmed to record the patient’s blood pressure at 1 minute intervals. The monitor can also be programmed to remain OFF during any time interval.

, 31, 5, 10, 15, 201, 30, 60, and 1201-

These measurement interv als may be timed to coincide with the patie nt ’s d ai ly activities.

The A&D TM-2020/TM-2021 Printer/Processor/Interface is used for performing one or more of the following functions: Analyze blood pressure data stored in the monitor; program the monitor’s intervals and conditions; fun ct ion as an interface between the monit or and the software.

Note:Data that was initially analyzed using A&D TM-2020-01/02/03 or TM-2021-

01/02/03 Data Analysis Software Program for DOS™ is compatible with this software’s format and can be ana lyzed by this software.

♦ Histograms

After Partial Analysis parameters are defined, the data specified within the parameters will appear in red overlayin g t he Full Analysis data.

2-4-2 BP Mode

The BP Mode is used to select which blood pressure method will be used as the primary and secondary choices for displaying the blood pressure measurement data. A&D monitors employ either Korotkoff, oscillometric or dual Korotkoff and oscillometric measurement methods. If the current data file contains data from a dual system, you may choose Korotkoff, oscillometric or both methods to analyze the dat a.

The measurement method(s) specified in the BP Mode will be the basis for the statistical and graphical analysis performed on the opened data file. The method noted with a one (1) is the primary method and the method noted with a two (2) is the secondary method. If a primary method measurement error occurred during the monitoring session or a measurement is manually excluded (see “2-6-2-1 Excluding/Including BP Measurements”), a valid measurement in the secondary method will be substitut ed for it with the appropriate BP Mode selection.

Method Setting Description

Oscillometric only This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to

oscillometric and disables the secondary choice. If the oscillometric reading for any measurement is invalid or has been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and statistical computat ions.

1: Oscillometric, 2: Korotkoff This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to

oscillometric and the secondary choice to Korotkoff. If an oscillometric reading is invalid, oscillometric readings will be substituted with Korotkoff readings. If both readings are invalid for a measurement, all data from the measurement is excluded.

Korotkoff only This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to

Korotkoff and disables the secondary choice. If the Korotkoff reading for any measurement is invalid or has been excluded by the user in the BP Data List, the measurement will be excluded from graphical displays and statistical computat ions.

1: Korotkoff, 2: Oscillometric This option sets the primary blood pressure choice to

Korotkoff and the secondary choice to oscillometric. If a Korotkoff reading is invalid, Korotkoff readings will be substituted with oscillometric readings. If both readings are invalid for a measurement, all data from the measurement is excluded.

To specify the BP Mode while v iewing an opened data file, complete these steps:

Step 1 Select the BP Mode box on the t ool bar. Step 2 Select the desired BP Mode u sed t o view and analyze the opened d ata file.

2-6-2-1 Excluding/Includi ng BP Measurements

It is useful to exclude a measurement from the Blood Pressure Data List in cases where the measurement is clearly incorrect. The software provides a simple way to include or exclude measurements while viewing a list. When a measurement is excluded from the Blood Pressure Data List, it will not be included in any of the software’s statisti cal or graphical analysis fu nct i ons.

A measurement can be included or excluded by clicking on the measurement in the column labeled Exclude. An “X” in the Exclude column indicates that the measurement is excluded. A “-“ indicates that the measurement is inc luded.

In some cases the software automatically excludes measurements if an error occurred during the reading. Measurements that have been automatically excluded are displayed with and “X” in the Exclude column and cannot be included by the user.

Note:Measurements that have been excluded are not deleted from the data file.
