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 pre-
programmed 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. Heart rate can also be measured using the frequency of
pressure waves.
Blood pressure measurements made by the ABPM 6100 are equivalent to those made by a
trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers.
To get the most out of the ABPM 6100, you should read this section of the manual
thoroughly. You will also need to read and understand the ABP Workstation software
manual to properly interface the ABPM 6100 monitor with the software.
