1-3 Monitoring Device Review The following section briefly reviews the monitors and processors and how they may be used with this program. 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 (TM-2420 Korotkoff, TM-2421 dual Korotkoff and oscillometric, or TM-2430 series oscillometric) is worn by the patient. The monitor non-invasively records the patient’s systolic/diastolic blood pressure an heart rate based on user defined intervals and conditions. The user may divide each 24 hour period into several time periods. Within each period the monitor may be programmed to record the patient’s blood pressure at 5, 10, 15, 201, 60 and 120 minute interval. The monitor can also be programmed to remain OFF during any time period. These measurement intervals may be timed to coincide with the patient’s daily activities. The A&D TM-2020/TM-2021 Printer/Processor/Interface is used for performing one or more of the following functions: Analyse blood pressure data stored in the monitor; program the monitor’s intervals and conditions; function as an interface between the monitor and the program. For those who do not want to utilise the Printer/Processor/Interface to analyse the blood pressure data stored in the monitor, the program may be used in conjunction with an interface to retrieve the data stored in the monitor. Data that was initially analysed using A&D TM-2020-01/02/03 or TM-2021-01/02/03 Data Analysis Software for DOSTM Program is compatible with this program’s format and may be analysed by this program.

1-6 Software Installation If you encounter a problem installing the program on your system or you believe that your software has been damaged, contact your A&D office. Be sure to have the program’s serial number ready, located on the CD label, when you call. The program must be run from a hard disk drive only. It may not be run from the CD. To install the program onto your hard disk drive, complete the following instructions: Step 1
Insert the CD into your CD ROM drive. If you have Autorun installed then the program will start automatically, otherwise click the START button on the WindowsTM taskbar and select Run. Type “D:setup” (This assumes your CD is in drive D: If necessary substitute the correct drive number for D) and click OK.
Step 2
Follow the instructions on the screen
1-7 Safety Do not attach the monitor to a patient when the monitor, or the monitor and the processor, are being connected to the computer.
