1.2 Brief Introduction of WBP-02A Hospital ABPM
Blood Pressure Monitor with Body Position Information
Hingmed WBP-02A Hospital ABPM is wearable. Comparing traditional ABPM, it’s very
small, light and is worn on people’s arm directly without air tube. The traditional ABPM
used to be attached with a 1 meter longer air tube around patient body. WBP-02A Hospital
has below strength:
1. More comfort for patient as there would be no air tube around patient body.
2. Minimized the ambulatory motion tolerance, improved the measurement consistency.
3. With rechargeable Li battery, ABPM users do not have to cost two AA batteries every
day.
Hingmed ambulatory blood pressure monitor has an outstanding feature that it could
provide the user's body position when taking blood pressure measurement, which could
be very important in clinical research. Most hypertensive diseases, such as dizziness,
nausea, brain death, happened under spirit pressure with body movement. Therefore,
monitoring patient’s blood pressure should not be confined to a calm condition. Blood
pressure measurement under ambulatory environment would more closely reflect patient
normal blood pressure situation. And that would be extremely helpful on clinical diagnosis.
In addition, blood pressure data with body position information can help doctors to make a
good judgment on orthostatic hypertension. Body position hypertension is that some
patient would only have high blood pressure under standing or sitting posture, but normal
at lying posture. Orthostatic hypertension accounts for 4.2% in domestic hypertension
patients and 10% in abroad report. Orthostatic hypertension is characterized by that there
is not hypertension in normal and just being found occasionally or in physical examination.
Diastolic pressure rising-up and large fluctuation would represent in orthostatic
hypertension and the individual could be accompanied by serious palpitation, tiredness,
sleep quickly etc. In blood examination, the plasma rennin activity in orthostatic
hypertension is higher than that of normal people, even than that of general hypertension
patient.
Chapter 2 Safety Requirements
2.1 Intended use
Wearable Blood pressure monitor of WBP-02A Hospital is mainly used to measure blood
pressures, which include systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate, of patients in
different setting intervals within 24 hours (not applicable to children under 3 years old),
and the measurement data can be downloaded to computer system through USB cable.
Then doctors can use Hingmed ABPM software system analyze the blood pressure
readings for diagnosis reference.
Product composition: Main unit, Noninvasive blood pressure cuff, USB cable, battery
charger, manuals, quick start, and Hingmed PC software.
The device is Lithium battery inside; Electric shock protection degree: CF type applied
part; Operation mode: automatic continuous running.
