RESULTS SCREEN
5.4.1
When the measurement process is completed, results will be
displayed on the screen. This consists of seven dierent areas:
navigation area, ABI values, SYS/MAP/DIA blood pressure values
and SmartArm™ selection, Oscilation graphs and Pulse waveforms,
patient’s measurements history, comments on the result and another
navigation area.
NOTE
If the results of the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index measurement are very
unusual, repeat the measurement three times.
Navigation area
5.4.1.1
All the buttons and information placed in the navigation area
are there to help you get around the application. You can toggle
between previous results of this patient. If you are not satisfied with
the result for any reason, you can quickly discard it or, in the case
of uncertainty, you can consult with a specialist by entering their
e-mail addresses or by pressing the printer icon which will provide
you with a printout of a selected measurement. The navigation
menu also contains the names of both the doctor performing the
recording and the patient.
Measurement
information
5.4.1.2
Parameters from the measurement (Right/Left Ankle-Brachial Index)
This section shows the left and right Ankle-Brachial index results
along with the systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the arm
that was used for the calculation.
Pressing the “Show more” button will display more detailed
information regarding the systolic and diastolic blood pressure
measurement (mmHg) on the arm/s and leg/s and the pulse rate
(depending on which option of the measurement did the user
select 3-cu or 4-cu measurement).
Oscillation
graphs and Pulse
waveforms
5.4.1.3
In this section, the entire ABI measurement pulse waveform (oscillation
graph) or a detailed view (pulse waveform) can be examined. For
more information regarding the reading, the oscillation or pulse
waveform graph see chapter 5.5 INTERPRETATION OF AN ABI
RESULT.
