It\u2019s not that often that Meditech introduce a new ABPM. The last\none, the ABPM-05 was introduced in 2007 the year the iPhone was launched. When\nthey do it\u2019s worth the wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a lot of thought that goes into the design and features\ncustomers really want in a new monitor. As well as good design it is important the\ntechnical elements are addressed so that the 30 year plus reputation for\nreliability and accuracy that Meditech have and customers from around the world\nexpect, is maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re proud that Meditech chose PMS Instruments and the UK as\ntheir first launch partner for the new ABPM-06 so what\u2019s it really like to\nwear, use and operate? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First impressions are good. It\u2019s got the same familiar look as the\nABPM-05 which means it\u2019s compact and light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It uses the same size and type of wipeable cuffs which means users\nof the old ABPM-04 and ABPM-05 can use their existing cuffs interchanging\nbetween units. The cuffs are durable and easy to wipe clean which is important\nfor patient hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One major improvement is the type of PC interface cable the new\nABPM-06 is supplied with. The old ABPM-04 and ABPM-05 used either a serial\ninterface or USB optoelectronic fibre optic cable which was unique to Meditech.\nAlthough repairable these old cables are expensive to replace or purchase new. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As customers frequently want to use their ABPM in more than one\ntreatment room the new ABPM-06 is now supplied with a standard mini USB A mini to USB B PC cable. This\nresolves any potential cable comms issues as there is only one way the cable\nwill go in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meditech have taken the wise decision to integrate the ABPM-06\ninto their popular CardioVisions analysis software rather than offer a\ncompletely new software platform. This means the look and feel of the software,\nprogramming, downloading and printing will be familiar to users of the old\nABPM-04 and ABPM-05 with no new software to learn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Programming the ABPM-06 takes seconds and key patient information\nlike name, date of birth and ID is retained in the monitor so there is no doubt\nwho has worn the monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the interests of customers I have worn a new ABPM-06 twice now\nand found the monitor comfortable and unobtrusive throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I programmed the monitor to record every 30 minutes during the day\nand hourly during the night as recommended by the latest NICE guideline NG136.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the 40 readings taken over 24 hours all were successful with no\nerrors. I was aware of the monitor going off at night but the new SleepWell\u00ae\nfunction added to the new AA grade algorithm meant the device wasn\u2019t\nuncomfortable and the measurement inflation and deflation time was quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Downloading the results took seconds and the automatic text\nreporting, trend graph and presentation of key metrics like average daytime\nreading value are clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feedback from new and existing customers who have purchased the\nABPM-06 since we introduced it has been very positive. For a free\ndemonstration, loan or for more information just call or email us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
