remarks:
•
If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, a hydrostatic error of about 0.75 mmhg
per centimetre will be produced. If the cuff is lower than heart level, about 0.75 mmhg
per centimetre must be subtracted from the displayed value.
If the cuff is higher than heart level, about 0.75 mmhg per centimetre must be added.

4.1 introduction
ri-vital
allows you to measure the patient's oxygen saturation of arterial blood and
®
non-invasive measuring of blood pressure, as well as optional measurement of oral,
axillary and rectal body temperature. the tFt colour display shows the functional
oxygen saturation (spO2) of the arterial blood, the pulse, the mean (MaP), systolic (sYs)
and diastolic (DIa) levels of the arterial blood pressure, as well as the temperature
of the selected region of the body. the sensor used for the spO2 measurement
can be inserted into the front of the device for safekeeping. the optional predictive
thermometer is equipped with a removable/replaceable insertion device for the
thermometer probe, as well as a storage compartment for the probe cover box.
the device has a carrying handle which simultaneously serves as a storage place for
the blood pressure cuffs. the device can be optionally equipped with a holder for the
ri-thermo
n ear thermometer.
