ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual 2. ABPM 6100 Monitor 2.1 Introduction The ABPM 6100 Unit is worn by the patient in a belt or shoulder strap and is connected to a cuff, which is wrapped around the non-dominant arm. ABPM 6100 inflates the cuff at preprogrammed intervals throughout the day and measures blood pressure using the oscillometric method, which senses the cessation of pressure waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff.
ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual 2.2 Operation This section provides a brief overview of the ABPM 6100 unit, how to load the batteries, and the unit controls. The ABPM 6100 features a simple design. One Start/Stop button functions as the primary control. The LCD (liquid crystal display) displays easy-to-read information. The ABP Workstation Software allows you to program the unit before the study and retrieve data after the study. A single air hose connector allows you to connect the cuff to the unit.

ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual Sleeve cuff Step 1: To determine the correct cuff size for your patient, follow these simple steps: 1. To find the right sized cuff, wrap the cuff around the patient’s upper arm without sliding the arm through the sleeve. 2. Use the color-coded RANGE indicator on the inside of the cuff and the bold INDEX marker to check that the arm circumference falls within the cuff range. 3. If the arm is within range, this cuff size is correct for your patient.
ABPM 6100 Hardware Manual • 3.6 Do not remove the cuff between readings Office Readings Once the ABPM 6100 monitor has been properly attached to the patient and the PC interface cable has been removed from the unit, it is important and necessary to perform office readings in order to make sure that the unit is functioning properly and does not cause discomfort to the patient. The ABPM 6100 monitor will not begin regular runs until at least one manually initiated reading has been taken.
