QUICK START GUIDE

If the device is off, turn it on by depressing the power button on the right side.

Measuring Blood Pressure and Pulse Rate
Automatically

1. Wrap an appropriately sized cuff (sizes are tabulated on page 20) snugly around the upper arm

midway between the elbow and shoulder.

2. Ask the patient to stay still and quiet before taking the measurement.

3. Press the automatic button on your unit. The cuff begins to inflate and the cuff pressure is

shown in the systolic display.

4. In about 30-40 seconds, depending on the size of the cuff, you will hear a beep to indicate cycle

completion. The systolic and diastolic values are shown in their respective locations. If MAP
mode is enabled, the pulse rate and MAP values will alternate.

Measuring Blood Pressure Using Sphygmode

1. Wrap an appropriately sized cuff (sizes are tabulated on page 20) snugly around the upper arm

midway between the elbow and shoulder.

2. Ask the patient to stay still and quiet.

3. Press and hold the Sphygmode manual button to inflate the cuff. Watch the pressure

displayed and release the button to start deflating the cuff at 3 mmHg/sec. Place your stethoscope
on the brachial artery to take a Sphygmode measurement.

If you see the cuff and/or warning icon , you will need to take
another measurement. Please refer to the troubleshooting section on page 38.

Measuring Temperature

1. To measure temperature orally, remove the blue probe from its

holder and secure a disposable cover on it. The display shows

the type of measurement, .

14

2. Wait for the device to beep before placing the probe carefully under the patient’s tongue as

denoted by the heat pockets shown to the right. The posterior medial sublingual pocket is
preferred for accuracy. Hold the probe in place so that its tip maintains tissue contact. Close the

patient’s mouth. During measurement, a “traveling dash” is displayed. In approximately 10­15 seconds, you will hear a long beep and the temperature reading will display.

3. Remove the probe from the patient’s mouth, discard the probe cover by pressing the button on the

end of the probe handle and replace the probe in its holder, ready for the next measurement.

Measuring Oxygen Saturation

1. For the reusable finger sensor, insert the patient’s digit, index

most preferable, into the sensor. You will see a “traveling dash”
until a valid reading is available, typically in 10-20 seconds. This
reading is displayed along with the signal strength.

When selecting a sensor site, give priority to an extremity free of an arterial catheter,
blood pressure cuff or intravascular infusion.

2. Detach the sensor carefully and replace it in the basket. At the end of the measurement, the last

valid reading will flash for 8 seconds and then be displayed for two minutes or until the next
measurement.

SETTING UP THE

ADVIEW

Safety Precautions

As a clinically trained professional using the ADview, your responsibilities include safeguarding your
patients, yourself and your equipment. Many setup functions will be performed either only once or very
occasionally, and it is important that you pay close attention. Before you set up your ADview, please review
these safety guidelines.

Protecting Your Patient

• While your ADview is designed for accurate, reliable vital signs measurement for adults and

children, it is not to be used on patients connected to cardiopulmonary bypass machines, patients
needing continuous monitoring, or patients under three years of age.

• If you feel that a particular blood pressure reading is questionable, use the ADview and your

stethoscope to take a second, Sphygmode reading. If you would like confirmation for an SpO2 or
temperature reading, please use an alternate device. After taking confirmatory readings, check the
device for proper functioning.

• Arrange the power supply and cabling so that it does not constitute a hazard to your patient, your

co-workers or yourself.

Protecting Yourself

• Removing the cover or the back of the device can cause electric shocks. Do not attempt to service

your ADview unless you are authorized.

Protecting Your

ADview

• Do not use your ADview around flammable substances.

• Use only ADC approved accessories to power your ADview. A listing of these is in the Appendix

on page 58.

• Use only those batteries supplied by ADC or an authorized service representative.

• The ADview must be placed on a stable, slip proof surface. Only recommended hardware should

be used to mount your device to a wall, pole or tabletop carrier.

• At no point should the contents of the storage basket exceed 5 lbs. in weight.

• Do not immerse the device in water or attempt to gas sterilize or autoclave it.

• The reliability of your ADview depends upon conformance with the operation and service

instructions as detailed in this manual.

Connectors on the optional modules are for:

• A pulse oximetry sensor on the pulse oximetry module

• A temperature probe on the temperature module

To connect the ADview:

1. For blood pressure measurements, the blood pressure hose should already be attached to the BP

device. If not, push the open end of the blood pressure hose (one without the plastic connector)
over the blood pressure hose connector on the module. Secure the end with the plastic connector
to an appropriately sized cuff by twisting the two mating connectors together.

2. For temperature measurements, remove the tape holding the temperature probe in the well, and

place the box of probe covers in the well next to the probe.

3. For SpO2 measurements, attach the pulse oximetry sensor to the extension cable. Flip the

retention clip forward. Then, connect the other end of the extension cable to the connector on the
module. Finally, push the clip backward over the SpO2 connector to hold the connector in the
module.

4. Connect the power supply to the main BP module. Then, connect the power supply to an AC

mains power source. The device will turn on automatically.

Powering Up

1. Depress the power button located on the right side of the main enclosure. The power-up sequence

begins. All display segments light up for three seconds. A short beep indicates that the ADview is
ready.

2. Check the status of the power level indicator. If the power level indicator shows one segment

flashing, connect the device to the power supply before using. You are now ready to use your
ADview.

Selecting Temperature Unit of Measurement

18

With the device powered on, select the unit of measurement for temperature by depressing the recessed
button on the side of the temperature module to toggle between the °C and °F icons. The selected icon will
be lit in the display and becomes your default selection.

Bluetooth Wireless Communication

If your ADview has the optional Bluetooth wireless communication capability, please contact your IT
administrator for configuration with your EMR/HER system or communication network.

19

MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE WITH THE

ADVIEW

Your ADview device is designed to take accurate blood pressure readings by the oscillometric method.
Systolic pressures from 60 to 270 mmHg and diastolic pressures from 30 to 170 mm Hg lie within the
range of your device. In most cases, you will be able to take accurate blood pressure (BP) and pulse rate
(HR) measurements within 30-40 seconds.

Steps in taking a BP measurement are:

• Prepping the patient and attaching the cuff

• Taking the measurement

Prepping Your Patient

Ensure that the patient:

• Is not wearing any constricting clothing on the selected arm.

• Has no injury or tissue damage on the selected arm.

• Keeps the cuffed arm at heart level.

• Keeps the cuffed arm motion-free and relaxed without any muscle tension in the biceps and

triceps during the measurement.

• Does not cross his/her legs for the measurement.

Keep aware of current practices as recommended by the American Heart Association, British Hypertension
Society, and other medical practice associations.

1. Ready the patient into a sitting , standing , or supine position. Remember that a

patient’s BP can vary with position.

The stress of being in a clinical situation often causes patients to undergo ‘white coat
hypertension,’ leading to higher-than-normal readings. Help your patient to relax as
you prepare to take the measurement.

20

Selecting the Right Cuff

Your device comes with durable two-piece All Purpose Cuffs (APC) from ADC. Cuffs are available in a
range of sizes, from Child to Thigh. Note that your ADview works optimally with APC cuffs.

Using the table below, select a cuff you estimate to be of the right circumference:

2. Wrap the cuff around the patient’s upper arm midway between the elbow and the shoulder.

3. Ensure the ARTERY arrow is over the brachial artery, between the biceps and triceps muscles on

the inside of the arm.

4. Use the range indicator and the INDEX line on the inside of the cuff to check that the

arm circumference falls within the specified range of the cuff. If the arm is within range, this cuff
size is correct for your patient. If the measurement is outside the RANGE indicator, use the
appropriate larger or smaller cuff and re-check.

Using a cuff that is too small, commonly called undercuffing, can result in
overestimating a patient’s BP. Using a cuff that is too large, or overcuffing, can result
in underestimating a patient’s BP. For most accurate results, take care in selecting the
appropriate size cuff for your patient.

5. Ensure that the BP pressure hose is connected to the cuff. Confirm that the hose is neither

compressed nor kinked.

6. Ask the patient to stay still and quiet before taking the measurement.

Do not place the cuff on an arm currently being used for other procedures such as
intravenous infusions or oximetry readings.

21

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.

22

Taking a measurement on each arm helps rule out dissecting aneurysms, coarctation of
the aorta, vascular obstruction and possible errors in measurement.1

You can find more tips like this in the American Heart Association’s current scientific
statement on recommendations for blood pressure measurement.

Taking a Manual Sphygmode Measurement

1. With the patient prepped as described earlier (page 19), and the device powered on, palpate the

brachial artery at the antecubital fossa. Place your stethoscope over this space.

2. Press and hold the Sphygmode manual button until you inflate the cuff to a level at least 30

mmHg higher than the patient’s systolic pressure.

3. Once the cuff has been inflated to the desired level, release the Sphygmode manual button. The

cuff begins to deflate at approximately 3mmHg/sec and the device displays the cuff pressure.

4. While listening to your stethoscope, note the systolic and diastolic pressures corresponding to the

first and last Korotkoff sounds (K-sounds) heard.

Press the Sphygmode manual button to re-inflate the cuff.

Press the automatic button if you need to rapidly release all the air from the cuff.

K- Sounds: A Primer

Korotkoff sounds, commonly called K-sounds, are the sounds you detect through your stethoscope when
you measure blood pressure with a sphygmomanometer or an aneroid device. Named for the Russian
physician who identified them, there are five phases of K-sounds, each phase characterized by a distinct
volume and quality of sound.

K-sounds are heard through the stethoscope as the blood pressure cuff deflates. The first sound, K-1, is
heard when cuff pressure equals systolic pressure. K-1 is a sharp, tapping sound.

The K-2 phase is characterized by a swishing sound, caused by the swirling currents in the blood as the
flow through the artery increases.

In the K-3 phase, there is a resumption of crisp tapping sounds, similar to those heard during phase 1.

An abrupt muffling of sound identifies K-4, the fourth phase.

The end or fifth phase is the point at which sounds cease to be heard altogether.

Systolic pressure is registered at K-1 and diastolic at K-5.

K-4 or K-5? There exists some debate about whether K-4 or K-5 should be recorded
as the diastolic BP. In most cases, K-5 is preferred. However, if the sound persists even
after the cuff is completely deflated, it is recommended that K-4 be recorded as the
diastolic blood pressure.2

guidelines for management of hypertension.

MEASURING TEMPERATURE WITH THE

ADVIEW

Your ADview device can measure temperature with the optional temperature module. This module enables
you to take rapid, accurate temperature measurements ranging from 86°F-109.4°F. Typically, predictive
readings are obtained within ten to fifteen seconds, and direct readings within two minutes. The module is
equipped with the temperature probe for oral/axillary measurement, color-coded blue. A rectal probe that
is color-coded red is optionally available.

Temperature Units of Measurement

The device displays the temperature measurement in:

• Celsius

• Fahrenheit

To choose a unit of measurement, depress the recessed button on the left side of the temperature module.
The icon for the selected unit is illuminated. This is now the default selection.

Temperature Measurement Modes

The device can measure temperature via three modes:

• Oral, indicated by on the display and measured using the blue probe

• Axillary, indicated by on the display and measured using the blue probe

• Rectal, indicated by on the display and measured using the red probe

All three modes can be used for both predictive and direct measurement. In the default predictive mode,
your ADview predicts temperature in 10-15 seconds with an accuracy of +/- 0.2 °F (+/- 0.1°C). When a
fever is detected, the measurement may last longer. In direct mode, the display continually updates until a
stable reading is reached. This mode is used in certain difficult conditions when a predictive reading is not
preferred or possible.

Axillary and rectal modes are preferred for children and compromised patients.

Using temperature probe and probe covers

In addition to the safety instructions for your ADview, here are some additional tips on using the probe and
probe covers for the optional temperature module:

• Use only ADC by SunTech supplied probe covers with this device.

• The device and probe covers are non-sterile. Do not use on abraded tissue.

• To limit cross contamination, use blue probes for taking oral and axillary temperature only. Use

red probes for rectal temperatures only.

25

• Dispose used probe covers in accordance with current medical practices or local regulations

regarding disposal of infectious, biological medical waste.

• Note that proper placement of the probe is essential to the accuracy of the measurement.

Taking an Oral Temperature

1. Remove the blue probe from its holder and secure a disposable cover on it. The probe pre-

heating process begins with the flashing display of the type of measurement, .

2. After a few seconds, the device will beep to signify that the

probe is ready for placement. After the beep, place the probe
carefully under the patient’s tongue as denoted by the heat
pockets shown to the right. The posterior medial sublingual
pocket is preferred for accuracy. Hold the probe in place so that
its tip maintains tissue contact. Close the patient’s mouth.

During measurement, a “traveling dash” is displayed.

3. After 10-15 seconds, a long beep signals the end of the

measurement cycle. The temperature will display for two
minutes or until you initiate a new measurement.

4. Remove the probe from the patient, discard the probe cover by pressing the end of the probe

handle, and return the probe to the probe holder. Note the temperature reading.

By default, the predictive method is selected. To select direct measurement from the
start, press the temperature mode select button located on left side of the temperature
module for three seconds or until you hear two short, quick beeps. When using direct
measurement, the display will alternate displaying “dir” and the current probe
temperature. A long beep signals the final temperature result.

Taking an Axillary Temperature

1. Remove the blue probe from its holder and secure a disposable

cover on it. The probe pre-heating process begins with the

flashing display of the type of measurement, .

2. Briefly (less than 2 seconds) press the temperature mode select

button until it displays for axillary.

3. After a few seconds, the device will beep to signify that the probe is ready for placement. After

the beep, lift the patient’s upper arm and place the probe high under the patient’s axilla. Apply
pressure gently to assure good contact between the probe and axilla, and make sure there is no
interference such as clothing. Hold the probe in place so that its tip maintains tissue contact.

Place the arm by the patient’s side. During measurement, a “traveling dash” is displayed.

Note that proper placement of the probe is essential to the accuracy of the

26

measurement.

4. After 10-15 seconds, a long beep signals the end of the measurement cycle. The temperature will

display for two minutes or until you initiate a new measurement.

5. Remove the probe, discard the probe cover and place back in the probe holder. Note the

temperature reading.

Taking a Rectal Temperature

1. Remove the blue probe and well by sliding the pieces upward until they detach.

2. Place the red probe in the holder of the red well and the probe

connector in the notched space as shown to the right (see page 35
for detailed instructions). Slide the red well vertically onto the
back of the module thus replacing the blue well.

3. Assist patient into a prone (facedown) position and ensure that the

patient is relaxed.

4. Remove the red probe from its holder and secure a disposable cover on it. The probe pre-heating

process begins with the flashing display of .

5. After a few seconds, the device will beep to signify that the probe is ready for placement. After

the beep, separate the patient’s buttocks and apply a thin coat of water-based lubricant for smooth
entry of the probe. Insert the probe gently 1 cm inside the sphincter. Tilt the probe to keep it in
place and hold it in position to ensure tissue contact. During measurement, a “traveling dash”

is displayed.

Note that proper placement of the probe is essential to the accuracy of the
measurement.

6. After 10-15 seconds, a long beep signals the end of the measurement. The result will be displayed

for two minutes or until you initiate a new measurement.

7. Remove the probe, discard the probe cover and place back in the probe holder. Note the reading.

If the temperature reading is out of range, the device will beep and flash the limit that
is exceeded. So, if the reading is greater than 109.4°F (43.0°C), “109.4” or “43.0” will
flash on the display followed by a sequence of rising LED’s. If the reading is less than

86.0°F (30.0°C), “86.0” or “30.0” will flash on the display followed by a sequence of
falling LED’s.

MEASURING OXYGEN SATURATION WITH THE

ADVIEW

The ADview optional pulse oximeter module measures functional oxygen saturation ranging from 40% to
100%. A signal strength display assists the clinician in the proper placement of the sensor.

The ADview is a spot check device and is not used for patient monitoring. Therefore,
there are no SpO2 alarms.

Steps for measuring functional oxygen saturation:

• Prepping the patient and affixing the sensor

• Taking a reading

Prepping the Patient

Selecting the Right Sensor

Your choice of sensor is affected by many factors including:

• Patient’s body weight

• Patient activity

• Infection control concerns

For most patients greater than 30kg, use an adult sensor; for patients 10-50kg, a
pediatric sensor may provide better fit.

Protecting Your Pulse Oximetry Sensors

In addition to the safety instructions for your ADview, here are some additional tips on caring for the sensor
of the optional pulse oximetry module:

• To prevent damage, do not autoclave or immerse the sensor in liquid.

• For peak performance and accurate measurements, do not expose the sensor to excessive ambient

light, electromagnetic interference, dysfunctional hemoglobin, low perfusion, intravascular dyes,
finger nail polish and long or artificial finger nails.

• Do not use a damaged sensor as it may cause patient injury or equipment failure.

• The use of this sensor is contraindicated in patients with allergies to adhesive tape.

Guidelines for Use

28

• When selecting a sensor site, give priority to an extremity free of an arterial catheter, blood

pressure cuff or intravascular infusion line.

• Clean reusable sensors after use.

• Ensure that the optical components of the sensor are properly

affixed to the patient and aligned.

• Artificial nails, or dark shades of nail polish, may reduce light

transmissions and affect pulse oximetry accuracy. Clean off nail
polish or detach artificial nails before applying the sensors.

• Secure sensor cable firmly but lightly at the base of the finger.

• Inspect the sensor application site at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure correct sensor alignment

and skin integrity. Patient sensitivity may vary due to medical status or skin condition.
Discontinue use of adhesive tape strips if the patient exhibits an allergic reaction to the adhesive
materials.

Measuring Oxygen Saturation with Sensor on
Finger

For best results, clip the sensor on the index, middle or ring finger, avoiding the little
finger or thumb.

1. For the reusable finger sensor, insert the patient’s digit, index

most preferable, into the sensor. Ensure that the tip of the digit
touches the rear guide posts of the sensor and the sensor cable
extends along the top of the patient’s hand. Secure sensor with
wrap, tape or bandage.

SpO2 measurement will begin automatically. Once the SpO2 determination begins, a “traveling

dash” will be displayed until a measurement is determined, usually in 10 seconds. This
reading will be updated once per second. SpO2 can be measured without interruption for up to 10
minutes. Along with the functional oxygen saturation value, the signal strength will also display.

2. When you remove the sensor from the patient’s finger, the display will flash the last measurement

for 8 seconds. The measurement will then be displayed for 2 minutes or until another
measurement is made. Note the patient’s reading and confirm normal venous return.

After 10 minutes of continuous measurement, the measurement is automatically
terminated and status code “01” is displayed. To view the last measurement prior to

automatic termination, press and hold the automatic button for more than two

29

seconds (see page 30 for details).

30

MANAGING READINGS

Recalling the Last Set of Readings

To redisplay the last set of readings, depress the automatic button on the BP module for more than two
seconds until the last reading is displayed. If your ADview has temperature and/or pulse oximetry modules,
the last set of readings includes these readings as well. If the last attempted reading resulted in an error
and/or warning, then this will be displayed. The device will display dashes if no reading is in memory, a
reading was aborted or, the previous BP was a Sphygmode measurement.

For the pulse oximetry module: In the event of the 10-minute measurement timeout, the module will
terminate the measurement and status code “01” will display on the main module. The last valid reading
recorded at the end of the ten-minute period will be the recalled reading.

Clearing the Last Set of Readings

To clear the values from the last automatic BP measurement and the accessories, press and hold the

automatic button more than 5 seconds. Previous values will be displayed momentarily. Then the
display blanks. On redisplay you will see dashes for all the values that have been cleared.

Your ADview displays the most recent set of readings for two minutes. If patient
privacy is a concern, you can clear these readings from the display before collecting
vital signs from another patient.

Bluetooth Wireless Transmission of Readings

If your ADview has the optional Bluetooth wireless communication capability you may be able to transmit
the readings into your EMR/EHR system or communication network. Contact your IT administrator or
EMR/EHR vendor for support on configuring your ADview for Bluetooth wireless communication.

31

MAINTAINING THE

ADVIEW

Routine Maintenance

Establishing simple care guidelines helps protect the performance and life of your ADview. On a routine
basis, you should inspect the device, cables and pneumatic hoses for cracks, fraying or kinks and
immediately replace any damaged parts.

Remember to check the calibration of the BP module annually. If available, a biomedical technician may
help in maintaining your equipment.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Device

1. Wipe the device with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.

The ADview device cannot be sterilized.
Never immerse the device in any fluid or attempt to employ cleaning fluids or solvents.

Cleaning the Cuffs

1. Between uses, wipe cuff sleeves and the insides of cuffs with a medical grade cleaning agent.

2. Periodically, remove the bladders and machine-wash the cuffs in cold water.

3. Line dry.

Cleaning the SpO2 Sensor

1. Clean sensor and clips with a soft cloth dampened with water, a mild soap solution, or isopropyl

alcohol.

2. Remove all tape residues by rubbing off.

3. Dry sensor and clips thoroughly before re-use.

Never immerse sensor and clips in fluids. Do not pour or spray any liquids on them
either. Caustic or abrasive cleaners will cause permanent damage.

32

Prying the finger clip sensor to an angle greater than 90° can permanently damage its
casing.

Checking the Calibration of Your Device

It is recommended that you check the BP calibration of your ADview once a year. To check calibration:

1. Start with the device powered off. While holding down the automatic button on the front of

the BP module, toggle on the power button on the right side of the main enclosure. The “CAL”
message is displayed in the pulse rate display to indicate that the system is in the calibration
mode. During this mode, the system pressure displays in the systolic BP display area.

2. Using a T-connector, connect a calibrated pressure reference and control, such as a manometer

and inflation bulb, to the pressure hose connector of the ADview. Contact ADC customer support
for details on ordering the calibration kit which includes a T-connector.

3. Compare the pressure reference to the ADview throughout the pressure range, 0 to 270mmHg. If

the difference between the pressure reference and the ADview is no larger than 2mmHg, the
ADview is calibrated correctly for operation. If the ADview needs calibrating, contact an
authorized service center on page 44.

4. Exit the calibration check by pressing the automatic button again. Once the display shows

dashes as the systolic BP, you are now ready to take a measurement.

It is recommended that you check the temperature calibration of your ADview temperature module
annually. A Calibration Plug (see page 58 for details) is available to check accuracy of the technology. It
replaces the regular probe and verifies the accuracy of the temperature electronics. Replace the
temperature module if error is greater than +/-0.1 C. To check the calibration:

1. Remove the Temperature Well from the Temperature Module.

2. Replace the Temperature Probe with the Calibration Plug.

3. Replace the Temperature Well.

4. Initiate a measurement by inserting and removing the Temperature probe from the well.

5. Verify the accuracy of the measurement.

Probe accuracy can be checked by using the thermometer as you would on a patient in any mode with a
cover, but place it in a calibrated water bath. Direct mode is accurate to +/- 0.1 C of the calibrated water
bath temperature. Predictive mode accuracy is accurate to +/- 0.2 C of the calibrated water bath
temperature.

Replacing the Rechargeable Battery

Replace the battery:

• According to your regular maintenance schedule.

• When the battery no longer charges.

• After heavy use, if necessary.

33

To replace the battery:

1. Remove the four screws securing the battery bay door.

2. Carefully remove the battery from the battery bay, being careful not to pull on the wires

attached to the battery terminals.

3. Disconnect the wires from the battery terminals.

4. The rechargeable battery contains lead. Please dispose of the old battery properly.

5. Connect the wires to the terminals of the replacement battery, ensuring the red wire is

attached to the red terminal and the black wire to the black terminal. If the wires are reversed,
no damage will occur, however the ADview will not operate. Be sure to use ADC item
number 9000BAT for the replacement battery in order to maintain optimum performance.

6. Re-secure the battery bay door with the four screws removed in step 1.

7. Connect the power supply to turn the device on and charge the replacement battery fully

before using.

If the rechargeable battery is disconnected for any reason, the device must be
connected to AC mains power via the power supply before the unit will turn on; this is
required even if the battery has been properly reconnected.

Disposal

This symbol indicates the device contains materials (such as electrical components) which are
hazardous. Please return to ADC for disposal.

been independently validated to both the British Hypertension Society (BHS) and European Society of
Hypertension (ESH) standards for clinical accuracy.

What method of blood pressure measurement is used in the ADview?

The ADview takes automated BP measurements using the oscillometric method. It supplements this with
the ability to take measurements as you would if you were using a mechanical sphygmomanometer.

Can I upgrade my current version of ADview at a later date?

To upgrade your ADview device, please review the list of accessories on page 58 or on our website. Contact
your local distributor for details.

43

Could I use the ADview to measure blood pressure during a stress test?

Although your ADview is a robust device that has been manufactured with motion tolerance, it is not
intended for use during stress testing.

Should I wait between temperature measurements?

Yes. Accurate temperature measurement requires the probe to be at normal room temperature. After taking
a measurement, wait for the probe to return to room temperature or wipe the probe with an alcohol wipe
before taking a subsequent measurement.

Do I need to calibrate the temperature or pulse oximetry modules?

For calibration or service on the ADview temperature and pulse oximeter modules, contact an authorized
service center on page 46.

How accurately does the ADview temperature module measure temperature?

The ADview temperature module is accurate to +/- 0.2 °F (+/-0.1°C).

What is the accuracy of the ADview pulse oximetry module?

The ADview pulse oximetry module is +/- 2% in the 70 to 100% range for no motion and normal perfusion.
For motion or low perfusion, the accuracy is +/- 3%.

When does the warranty period begin?

The warranty for your ADview begins on the date of shipment of your device.

How do I make a warranty claim for the ADview?

Contact an authorized service center on pages 46 - 47.

How do I get my ADview to communicate with my EMR/EHR software system?

You must have the optional Bluetooth capability to allow communication with any EMR/EHR system.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

Special Situations

Unique circumstances, such as the patient’s age or physiological disturbances, require you to take special
care while measuring blood pressure or vital signs. The more common examples of such circumstances are
described here, to assist you in using your ADview optimally under such conditions. You can find
recommendations on dealing with each of these special situations in the American Heart Association’s
current scientific statement on recommendations for blood pressure measurement or the British
Hypertension Society’s current guidelines for management of hypertension.

Measuring Blood Pressure in Children

Typically, children exhibit greater variability in blood pressure than do adults. They are more likely to be
crying, eating or restless in a clinical situation, further increasing the potential for variability.

Measuring Blood Pressure in Obese Patients

There appears to be a positive correlation between obesity and hypertension. Due to the increased arm
circumference of obese patients, use of a "standard" cuff may lead to blood pressure being erroneously
elevated – a condition known as "cuff hypertension."

Selecting an Appropriate Cuff for Obese Patients:

• For larger-than-normal upper arms, use a wider and longer cuff than you would otherwise use.

• Prominent biceps in a muscular upper arm require a large cuff.

Measuring Blood Pressure in the Presence of Arrhythmia

Irregular cardiac rhythms can result in a large variation in blood pressure from beat-to-beat. If you are
using the ADview on a patient with known arrhythmia, we recommend that you follow up with a
Sphygmode BP reading as a confirmatory measure.

In patients with severe regular bradycardia, take Sphygmode rather than automatic readings.

Measuring Blood Pressure During Pregnancy

Hypertension is a common medical disorder of pregnancy, occurring in about ten percent of pregnancies.
Detection of elevated blood pressure is essential to optimal prenatal care.

For clinically relevant hypertension in pregnancy, use the ADview to take a Sphygmode measurement.

Measuring Blood Pressure in the Elderly

In the elderly, the combination of hypertension and ageing can manifest as a decrease in arterial
compliance. Variability in blood pressure can lead to a number of circadian blood pressure patterns that are
best identified using ambulatory blood pressure measurement. The clinical consequence of this blood
pressure variability is inaccurate readings.

47

Measuring Blood Pressure in the Emergency Room

Measuring blood pressure in the emergency room can be done through automated blood pressure
measurements. For critically ill or injured patients, blood pressure should be measured through the invasive
arterial pressure method.

Measuring Blood Pressure in the Presence of Orthostatic Hypotension

Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 20 mmHg or more or diastolic
blood pressure of 10 mmHg or more measured after three minutes of standing up from a supine position.
Food ingestion, time of day, age, and hydration can impact this form of hypotension, as can a history of
Parkinsonism, diabetes, or multiple myeloma.
