QUICK MEASURING GUIDE
4.1 PREPARATION FOR MEASUREMENT
DEVICE
PLACEMENT
4.1.1
The operational environment of the device should be appropri-
ate to ensure accurate measurements. The main device must
be placed on a steady, horizontal surface. The device must not
be exposed to mechanical shocks and vibrations during opera-
tion. Such disturbances can significantly alter the measurement
results or even render them useless. For instance, placing the
device on a patient’s bed during the ABPI measurement cannot
provide reliable results.
The device must be operated within the +10°C to +40°C tempera-
ture range and 30% to 80% RH humidity.
MESI ABPI MD users must be adequately trained in use of the device.
Must carefully read and follow the entire Instructions for Use prior to
initial use of the device.
AIR TUBES
4.1.2
When the main device is adequately positioned, it can be connected
to the cus. The cus, the tubes and the sockets are colour-coded
to minimise the risk of improper connections.
The air tube connections are made by firmly inserting the plug into
the appropriate socket. Pull out the plug to disconnect the tube.
Hold the plug rather than the tube when disconnecting.
PATIENT
PREPARATION
4.1.3
The patient must be in a supine position, lie still and remain quiet. It is
recommended for the patient to lie still for at least 5 minutes before
starting the measurement process. During measurement, the patient
must lie completely flat, must be relaxed and must not talk. Their
legs must not be crossed. The operator selects between a 3-cu
and 4-cu measurement (when selecting the 3-cu measurement,
select the right or left arm).
NOTE
A considerate force is needed to insert or pull out the plug.
NOTE
When connecting the tubes, please make sure that the airflow is in not
obstructed in any kind of way.. For example, tube blockage can easily occur
by placing objects over it.
