2. ABPM 6100 Monitor 2.1

Introduction

The ABPM 6100 Unit is worn by the patient in a belt or shoulder strap and is connected to a cuff, which is wrapped around the non-dominant arm. ABPM 6100 inflates the cuff at preprogrammed intervals throughout the day and measures blood pressure using the oscillometric method, which senses the cessation of pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff. Heart rate can also be measured using the frequency of pressure waves. Blood pressure measurements made by the ABPM 6100 are equivalent to those made by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. To get the most out of the ABPM 6100, you should read this section of the manual thoroughly. You will also need to read and understand the ABP Workstation software manual to properly interface the ABPM 6100 monitor with the software.

Checklist Check to make sure that the ABPM 6100 package contains the following: - ABPM 6100 Monitor, PC Interface Cable, Belt and Shoulder Strap, - Warranty Card, Patient Diary and Cuff Anchors pads - Keyspan serial adapter including CD - Adult Size Cuff - 4 AA Batteries - ABPM 6100 hardware & ABP Workstation Software Manual CD - Monitor Pouch

Caution

Substitution of a component different from that supplied might result in measurement error!

Sleeve Cuff Placement

Using an incorrect cuff size could result in erroneous and misleading blood pressure measurements. DIR 80012720 Ver. B

12 / 30

ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual Sleeve cuff

Step 1: To determine the correct cuff size for your patient, follow these simple steps: 1. To find the right sized cuff, wrap the cuff around the patient’s upper arm without sliding the arm through the sleeve. 2. Use the color-coded RANGE indicator on the inside of the cuff and the bold INDEX marker to check that the arm circumference falls within the cuff range. 3. If the arm is within range, this cuff size is correct for your patient. If the measurement is outside the RANGE indicator, select a new cuff size as indicated by color.

Step 2: Applying the Cuff 1. To apply the Welch Allyn ABPM 6100 cuff, simply slide the sleeve up the patient’s arm, ensuring the color size indicator is at the top of the cuff. The cuff should be midway between the elbow and shoulder. 2. Be sure the ARTERY indicator is over the patient’s brachial artery, between the biceps and triceps muscles (see illustration showing left arm placement). 3. Wrap the cuff snugly around the patient’s upper arm. 4. Take the initial BP reading and ensure hookup is working. 5. Refer to figures 1, 2 and 3 on inside flap for an illustrated overview.

Step 3: Prepare the Patient 1. Preparing the patient is the most important step in obtaining an accurate, reliable blood pressure measurement. 2. Review the following instructions with your patient: •

Avoid excess movement during readings

•

Relax the instrumented hand, slightly away from the body

•

Avoid hand movement

•

Avoid flexing muscles during the reading

Do not remove the cuff between readings

Office Readings

Once the ABPM 6100 monitor has been properly attached to the patient and the PC interface cable has been removed from the unit, it is important and necessary to perform office readings in order to make sure that the unit is functioning properly and does not cause discomfort to the patient. The ABPM 6100 monitor will not begin regular runs until at least one manually initiated reading has been taken. Follow these instructions to perform an Office Reading: 1. If the unit is in Sleep Mode (no display on the LCD), press the Start/Stop button to “wake” the unit. 2. Press the Start/Stop button again to initiate a manual reading. This will cause the cuff to inflate and a reading to be taken. 3. Record the readings that are taken in the office as office readings into the patient diary, so that information can be taken into account in the analysis of the study. This is also a good opportunity to instruct the patient about the use of the patient diary. If the Start button is disabled when the parameters are written to the unit (thus disallowing initiation of manual readings), the ABPM 6100 monitor still allows you to manually initiate measurement for up to 30 minutes after parameters have been written to the unit and the unit has been “woken” from Sleep Mode. This allows you to initiate manual office readings even if you do not wish the patient to be able to initiate readings.

3.7

Regular Runs

Once at least one manual office reading has been taken, regular readings will initiate based upon the interval configured for the first time period. BEFORE THE PATIENT LEAVES Make sure of the following before the patient leaves the office: • The belt or shoulder strap and pouch are positioned comfortably. • The Start/Stop button is accessible to the patient. (Even if the Start button is disabled in the Study Parameters, the Start/Stop button will still allow the patient to cancel a reading.) • The ABPM 6100 monitor is concealed according to the patient’s wishes. • Remember the patient’s comfort and ability to perform normal tasks can significantly impact the relevance of monitoring data. • If the display is on, briefly review with the patient how to read the data. • Explain to the patient the kind of information required in the Patient Diary. • If the Start button is enabled, explain to the patient that he or she has the option to initiate readings using the Start/Stop button. OTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR PATIENTS The patient should also be advised of the following: • Pressing the Start/Stop button during a reading will cancel that reading and deflate the cuff regardless of whether the Start button is set to On or Off in the Study Parameters. • Advise the patient to undress carefully at bedtime, using caution not to disconnect the hose from the monitor. • Placing a pillow over the monitor during sleep will reduce any electrostatic hum from the ABPM 6100 unit. • All data is stored internally after deactivation.

DIR 80012720 Ver. B

14 / 30

ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual PATIENT DO’S AND DON’TS: Finally, familiarize the patient with the following list of do’s and don’ts: Do: • Wear a loose fitting blouse or shirt. • Record time, symptom/mood and activity/position in the patient diary. • Activate a reading (if the Start/Stop button is activated) at the first sign of symptoms. • Remain motionless during readings. • Keep vehicle driving and travel to a minimum. • Bring diary upon return. Don’t: • Remove the cuff. • Get the monitor wet. • Use power tools or heavy equipment during a reading. • Remove the batteries from the unit. • Wear long-sleeved sweaters or dresses during monitoring period. • Swim, shower, or bathe during monitoring. • Operate heavy equipment or power tools, as vibrations may functionally disrupt the monitor.

3.8

Data

After the ABPM 6100 monitor is disconnected from the patient, you will need to reconnect the monitor to the PC in order to read data from the unit. To reattach the monitor to the PC, simply locate the monitor (smaller) end of the PC Interface Cable and insert it into the communications port located at the bottom of the unit (the PC end of he PC Interface Cable should still be attached to the PC). If your computer doesn’t have a COM port you need to install the Keyspan Highspeed USB for more details. to serial adapter (USA 19H), please refer to section 4.

Reading Data from the Unit Whenever data is contained in the unit, it can be read from the unit into the ABPM 6100 software. The ABP Workstation software will then allow you to view the data and configure reports. See the ABP Workstation software manual for more information. To read data from the unit: 1. Make sure that the ABPM 6100 monitor is properly connected to the PC. 2. Open the ABP Workstation software. 3. Select the Patient Study that you wish to read data into by clicking the representative date under the appropriate patient name. If no Patient Study has been created yet, create a Patient Study by following the instructions in the Creating a New Patient Study section of the ABP Workstation software manual. 4. Follow the instructions in the ABP Workstation Software Manual chapter 2.3 5. Within a few seconds, the data will be retrieved from the unit. If the Patient ID in the Unit does not match the Patient ID in the ABP Workstation software Patient Study, a message will appear stating, “Patient ID in unit and study do not agree. Use ID in unit?” Select Yes to use the Patient ID currently stored in the unit; select No to use the Patient ID in the ABP Workstation software. The data from the unit will now be stored in the ABP Workstation software. If you receive an error message when you try to read data from the unit, make sure the PC Interface Cable is properly attached to both the monitor and the PC and repeat the Read Data from Unit command.

6. Calibration Check Welch Allyn recommends that the calibration of the ABPM 6100 monitor be verified annually by the user using the following procedure: 1. With the ABPM 6100 unit already powered up, remove one of the AA batteries from the battery compartment. Then immediately replace the battery back in its proper orientation, which will result in the unit to start the power up cycle. 2. While the LCD is displaying dashes, press and hold down the Start/Stop button. The unit will display the software version, the battery voltage, followed by a click as the valves are closed. When the process is finished, a pressure value will be displayed on the LCD and the unit is ready to have the calibration checked. 3. Disconnect the ABPM 6100 monitor cuff assembly from the unit 4. Attach the appropriate end of ABPM 6100 Y-connector (Welch Allyn Part #6100-25) to the monitor. Attach a cuff to the appropriate end of the Y-connector, and wrap around a suitably sized can or bottle. This acts as the reservoir for the unit. Connect the third leg of the Y-connector to a high quality, known pressure standard1. Refer to the calibration figure below for a sketch of the test set up. 5. Pressurize gauge to 250 mmHg and compare against pressure standard (see Note below). If the unit does not meet the required calibration, unit needs to be returned to Welch Allyn for calibration or repair. 6. Bleed pressure down no faster than 10 mmHg per second, stopping to check the pressure at 250, 200, 150, 100, and 50 mmHg 7. When finished, remove one of the AA batteries from the battery compartment. Then immediately replace the battery back in its proper orientation, which will cause the unit to start the power up cycle. Cuff Wrapped Around Cylinder Typical Office Manometer
