Model No.PS-2207,PS-2208,PS-2209 Introduction Introduction With the PASPORT Blood Pressure Sensor, students can easily measure heart rate (beats per minute) and systolic and diastolic arterial blood pressure (millimeters of mercury). Students gain a greater understanding of the physiology of the circulatory system when they also learn about the physiology of blood pressure.

Model No.PS-2207,PS-2208,PS-2209 Introduction Indicator Light Emitting Diodes The sensor has two light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted inside the pressure sensor case. When they are active, the LEDs can be seen through the case. One is orange and the other is green. The orange LED begins to flash as the cuff is being inflated (starting when the pressure reaches 50 mmHg). Once the cuff is inflated, the orange LED shines continuously while the sensor is making pressure readings.

Blood Pressure Sensor 5. Rotate the cuff as needed to position the white index line (labeled ARTERY) on the cuff over the main artery (brachial artery) on the inside of your left arm. 6. Sit without crossing your legs. Relax. Rest your left elbow and forearm on a solid surface with your palm facing upward. The cuff should be slightly lower than your heart. 7. Partner 2 should press and hold the push-button release valve to make sure that all of the air in the cuff has been released.

Model No.PS-2207,PS-2208,PS-2209 Sample Data How To Find Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Manually 1. Select a single data run. Enlarge an area of the pressure measurement between 120 and 60 mmHg. 2. Identify when your data begins to form ‘blips’ (small bumps). This is your systolic pressure. 3. Next, identify when your data stops forming ‘blips’ (small bumps). This is your diastolic pressure. 4. You may need to change your sample rate in order to see the ‘blips’.

Blood Pressure Sensor Trou bleshoot i ng Troubleshooting Why are the Systolic and/or Diastolic Pressure Not Appearing? • Perhaps the size of the cuff is incorrect. You may have a cuff that is too small or too large. • The pressure in the cuff may be falling too quickly, or not fast enough. The pressure release rate should be between 2 and 5 mmHg per second, and never less than 2 mmHg per second.
