Digital Sphygmomanometer UNIQUE FEATURES
-Auscultatory blood pressure measurement without mercury -Digital readout for pulse rate -Adjustable display column for easier analysis of results -Choice of two types (portable or mobile stand) to
suit diverse requirements HOW IT WORKS
The UM-101 mercury-free sphygmomanometer opens up a completely new era of professional blood pressure measurement. In 1905, Dr. Nikolai S. Korotkov introduced his theory of blood pressure measurement using the Riva- Rocci mercury monitor. Since then, blood pressure measurement using the mercury column has been reigned as the gold standard of blood pressure measurement, and his method known as the “Korotkov method” or “auscultatory method” is used for daily blood pressure monitoring by healthcare professionals worldwide.
Recently, awareness of the issue of environmental conservation has been increasing and the use of mercury has become a worldwide concern. Mercury is a toxic metal that can poison whole communities and remain in the local environment for many years creating serious health risks. Therefore, the banning of mercury is essential in order to maintain a clean and safe environment. The UM-101 was designed to be used as an alternative to the mercury column, while at the same time preserving the local environment and creating an easy-to-use product for hospital personnel. THE ADVANTAGES
Choice of portable or mobile stand type to
suit diverse requirements for professionals Choice of portable or mobile stand typeit diverse requirements for professionals Two separate versions of the UM-101 are available. We provide a standard portable model as well as a mobile stand version. The UM-101B (mobile stand type) combines the benefits of A&D’s mercury-free sphygmomanometer with mobility by mounting the BP monitor on a 5-leg adjustable mobile stand. The cuff and bulb can be placed in a small compartment on the stand offering more efficient BP measurement, and two small handrails provide extra mobility. Both the UM-101A and the UM-101B are equipped with an adjustable display column for clearer visibility from any position. Digital readout for pulse rate Digital readout for pulse rate The UM-101 is equipped with a small numerical display at the base of the digital column. This numerical display shows the pressure itself while it is increasing or decreasing. When a measurement is completed (below 20mmHg), the patient’s pulse rate is displayed automatically. This time-saving function is very practical because the patient's blood pressure and pulse rate are measured simultaneously. Adjustable display column for easier analysis of results Adjustable display column for easier analysis of results Unlike a mercury column, you can adjust A&D’s digital column to your preferred position by choosing from 4 different angles (ranging from 0 to 90 degrees). There is no need for you to twist your head or lean over to view your readings! You can even put the UM-101 on a patient’s bed and take an accurate measurement after adjusting the column to your selected angle. (The device does not have to be placed on a flat surface.)
