A clinic reading only tells you about the minute it was taken. An ambulatory monitor follows a person through a normal working day and a night’s sleep, which is where white coat effect, morning surges and night time pressure actually show themselves.
The TM-2441 from A and D is worn on the upper arm with the recorder carried on a belt or in a pouch. It is small and light, and that is what keeps people wearing it for the full study. It runs ambulatory, home, office and automatic night measurement from the one device, screens for atrial fibrillation while it works, and the cloth cuffs are machine washable so they can be reissued to the next patient.
Results come off by Bluetooth or USB into the data manager software for reporting, and cuffs are available to fit small adult through to large arms.
