Pulsoximetry; Blood Pressure Measurement - Riester ri-vital Instrucciones De Uso

Pulsoximetry

Sensor Connector
The sensor connector (I) is located on the left side of the device. The sensor is recessed
to prevent damaging the sensor cable, so that the device housing protects the connector.
It is recommended that you leave the sensor on the device and use the coiler (B) and the
sensor holder (C) for storage.
In order to correctly apply the SpO2 sensor to the patient, please read the corresponding
operating manual for this accessory part.
SpO2 Measurement
After the sensor has been affixed to the patient, the segments of the bar indicator (3) will
start to pulsate. After a short time the readings (1) (2) will appear on the display. The rea-
dings are updated once per second.
The message "Signal" will appear in the status display (8) if the sensor or patient is not con-
nected. "Perf" will be displayed if the device detects weak perfusion. Should it then still be
possible to take a measurement, readings will continue to be displayed.
Please note: no alarm function
Pulse Signal
When the pulse signal is activated, a brief acoustic signal is emitted for each detected
pulse. The pitch depends on the saturation. This signal can also be turned off using the
corresponding button (15).
Please note: no alarm function
Pulse Display
If the patient is connected to the pulsoximeter, the pulse reading that is obtained in this
manner is always indicated.
If no SpO2 measurement takes place, then after a successful blood pressure measure-
ment the device shows the oscillometrically determined pulse.
Optionally, the ri-vital ® can be ordered with Pearl pulsoxymeter technology (a process for
pulse amplification and artefact suppression).

Blood Pressure Measurement

Placing the Cuff
Slide the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube is pointing in the direction of the fo-
rearm.
Make sure that the underside of the cuff is situated about 2 to 3 cm higher than the elbow
and the rubber tube is sticking our from the cuff on the inside of the arm. The marking must
be directly over the artery that runs on the inside of the arm.
Blood Pressure Measurement
After turning on the device, press button (13) to start the blood pressure measurement.
The device will inflate and determine the systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pres-
sure with the next discharge. If necessary, the device will automatically inflate more to be
able to measure higher pressures as well.
