Welcome to the Riester RVS-100
Thank you for choosing the Riester RVS-100 for accurate monitoring
of vital signs. The Riester RVS-100 is designed to be simple and
efficient to use and the RVS-100 features:
automatic patient monitoring modes
averaging of multiple BP readings
user-programmable monitoring intervals
audible and visual patient alarms
connection to EMR system
Riester RVS-100 Description and Operation
The Riester RVS-100 vital signs monitor can perform automatic
blood pressure, pulse oximetry and body temperature measure-
ments for clinical professionals. For measuring blood pressure, a
blood pressure cuff is placed around the patient's non-dominant
upper arm. The cuff is inflated automatically and blood pressure
is measured by the oscillometric method—which senses pressure
waves in the artery when occluded by pressure in the cuff. Measure-
ment of the frequency of the pressure waves enables heart rate
to also be measured. The pulse oximetry function non-invasively
measures the patient's percent oxygen saturation of arterial he-
moglobin using principles of plethysmography via a SpO2 sensor
placed on the patient's finger. Temperature can be measured using
an oral/axillary/rectal temperature probe containing a thermistor
44
that generates a voltage based on changes in temperature, and
these voltages are recorded by the temperature circuitry. The RVS-
100 is a portable device, approximately 350 x 245 x 115 mm in size
and weighs approximately 3006 g without battery. A color touch
screen allows the user to stop/start a BP measurement, save a set
of measurements to memory, control patient alarm functions, print
measurements, and return to the home screen. The touch screen
can also be used to select many different device options. The back-
lit LCD display shows the user device status and measurement
information. A set of multi-color LED's on the corner of the front
enclosure alert users to visual alarms. The device uses a micro-
processor with software, which is not accessible to the user. The
unit is powered by a single rechargeable lithium-ion battery at the
bottom of the device. Four USB-A port connections can be used to
connect optional barcode scanner or Wi-Fi dongle. An optional in-
ternal thermal printer is available. There is also RJ45 Ethernet port
for network connectivity and an RJ11 jack for nurse call connectivity.
