Pulses
Aria includes bilateral pulses at the following locations:
• Carotid
• Brachial and Radial
• Femoral
• Popliteal and Dorsalis Pedis (Advanced configuration)
Each pulse location represents a zone. Settings of a pulse will affect the zone if both zones are
touched at the same time. For example, if you set the right brachial to weak and the right radial to
strong and touch both the brachial and radial pulses you will feel one strength.
There is a dominant pulse location within each zone. This means if the two pulse locations are
palpated at the same time, the following will occur:
a. Brachial pulse settings take precedence over Radial pulse settings in the
Brachial and Radial Zone.
b. Femoral right pulse settings take precedence in the Femoral Zone.
c. Popliteal pulse settings take precedence in the Popliteal and Dorsalis Pedis
Zone.
The system supports all functions including variable pulse strength (weak, normal, and bounding),
outside of this zone.
