New item with 2 years manufacturers warranty
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is an accepted clinical tool for collecting multiple blood pressure measurements. It better assists clinicians with the diagnosis and management of hypertension by providing: blood pressure variability, an estimation of true blood pressure, overnight changes in blood pressure, and morning surge in blood pressure. In-clinic and home blood pressure measurements cannot provide the same depth of information that a 24-hour study provides. Several studies have shown that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, when compared to clinic or home blood pressure measurements, is superior in predicting target organ damage, morbid events, or cardiovascular risk.
The data obtained from ambulatory blood pressure monitors is highly accurate and useful for managing a wide variety of hypertensive situations
including:
• White-coat hypertension
• Resistant hypertension
• Masked hypertension
• Childhood hypertension
• Efficacy of anti-hypertensive drug therapy on a 24-hour basis
• Nocturnal hypertension
• Episodic hypertension and/or anxiety disorders
• Hypotensive symptoms
• Changes in diet and daily routine designed to reduce hypertension
• Hypertension in pregnancy
Indication for Use
The ri-cardio is a non-invasive oscillometric blood pressure monitor capable of measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressures of adult patients (13 years or older). It is intended for use as an aid or adjunct to diagnosis and treatment.
Operation
The ri-cardio unit is worn by the patient on a waist belt and is connected to a cuff around the non-dominant upper arm. The cuff is inflated automatically at intervals which can be programmed during setup. Blood pressure is measured by the oscillometric method which senses pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff. Measurement of the frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate to also be measured. Blood pressure measurements determined with this device are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. The Korotkoff sounds heard over the artery below the compression cuff vary in character as the pressure in the cuff is reduced from above systolic toward zero or atmospheric pressure. They are divided into phases. Phase 1 (K1) or systolic begins with the sudden appearance of a faint, clear tapping or thumping sound that gradually increases in intensity. Phase 5 (K5) or diastolic begins when silence develops, and was used to determine overall efficacy of the ri-cardio.
