AccuMed C5 User Manual
        |
Blood pressure measurements determined with C5 are equivalent to those obtained bya trained observer using cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits pre-scribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanom-eters. This unit is to be used by adult consumers in a home environment. The patient is anintended operator. Do not use this device on infants or neonates. C5 is protected againstmanufacturing defects by an established International Warranty Program. For warrantyinformation, you can contact your local distributors.Attention: Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this man ual care-fully before use. For specific information on your own blood pressure, contactyour physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specifically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia,including atrial fibrillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC).Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thusearly diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia dur-ing regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction andmeasurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specific pulse arrhyth-mia diagnosis is provided with PARR.Note: The PARR detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detectionprobability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specificity is limited, thus most, but not allpulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommonclinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect pulse arrhyth-mia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only be found with anECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace anymedical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early detection of certainpulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to your doctor in charge.Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR - A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type Dis-criminating Detection Technology.The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus bloodis driven irregularly and with lower efficiency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregularheartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate.This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots.Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial fibrillationmay contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may beassociated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 % - 20 %percent of patients who suffer from an ischemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation.IntroductionPARR(Pulse Arrhythmia) TechnologyAtrial Fibrillation Detection (AFib)www.accumed.chAutomatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure MonitorModel: C5 Blood Pressure MonitorData Transfer via Bluetooth®Please download and installthe applicable APP onto yoursmartphone |
