Description

Introduction

Blood pressure measurements determined with AC1000f are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. This unit is to be used by adult consumers in home, physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinics and other medical facilities. The patient is an intended operator. Do not use this device on infants or neonates.

PARR(Pulse Arrhythmia) Technology

Prevent the risk of cardio disease and stroke by early detection of atrial fibrillation, premature contraction, tachycardia and bradycardia. Cardiac disorders need medical attention and thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolongation.

 Atrial Fibrillation Detection (AFib)

Atrial fibrillation (also called AFib or AF) is a quivering or irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. AFib is a serious condition that can occur without any signs or symptoms but can result in life-threatening complications if left untreated.

Premature Contraction Detection (PC)

A premature contraction can originate in your heart’s upper (atria) or lower (ventricles) chambers. With this “extra” beat, a pause usually causes your next normal heartbeat to be more forceful. Premature beats that start in your heart’s upper chambers are premature atrial contractions, or PACs. Those that start in the lower chambers are premature ventricular contractions, or PVCs. Infrequently, premature contractions can be caused by disease or injury to the heart.

Pulse Arrhythmia Detection (ARR)

Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhythmia can be specified by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the specifically detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any additional pulse arrhythmia type icon. Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the incidence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon is specified by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures. The PARR technology is able to detect and display combined pulse arrhythmia findings

Loose Cuff Detection

If the cuff was applied too loosely, it may cause unreliable measurement results or measurements can fail to start. The “Loose Cuff Detection” can help to determine if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough. A specified icon appears once a “loosen cuff” has been detected during measurement.

Movement Detection

The “Movement Detection” helps reminding the user to remain still and is indicating any adverse body movement during measurement. The specified icon appears once a “body movement” has been detected during and after such a measurement

Tachycardia Detection (TACH)

A fast heart rate of higher than 100 beats per minute (bpm) in adults. Unless being caused by physical or mental stress, a tachycardia may be an indicator for both cardiac (e.g. Coronary heart disease, valvular disorder), or extra-cardiac disorders (e.g. hyperthyroidism, fever, hypoxemia), as well as medication and stimulant substance side effects (e.g. caffeine). The unit is able to detect Tachycardia (TACH). The ARR and TACH icons are displayed right after the measurement if tachycardia has been detected.

Bradycardia Detection (BRAD)

A slow heart rate of less than 55 beats per minute (bpm) in adults. Unless not genetically determined or subsequent to a high cardiac endurance training adaptation, bradycardia may be related to multitude of cardiac disorders (e.g. valvular heart disease, heart failure) or extra-cardiac disorders (e.g. hypothyroidism, electrolyte imbalance) or medications (e.g. beta-receptor blocker). This unit is able to detect Bradycardia (BRAD). The ARR and BRAD icons are displayed right after the measurement if bradycardia was detected.
