Description

Overview of the medicine

The ALPK2-V500 is a manual blood pressure monitor kit designed for accurate and reliable blood pressure measurement. It includes a sphygmomanometer (aneroid manometer and cuff) and a stethoscope, allowing for auscultatory method readings.

Uses & Indications

Routine monitoring of blood pressure in adults and children (with appropriate cuff size)

Diagnosis and management of hypertension and hypotension

Screening for cardiovascular risk factors

Dosage

Adults

Use as needed to measure blood pressure, typically once or twice daily or as advised by a healthcare professional.

Elderly

Same as adults, ensure proper cuff placement and technique.

Renal_impairment

Same as adults, no specific dosage adjustment as it's a device.

How to Take

The device is for external use. Place the cuff firmly around the upper arm, position the stethoscope over the brachial artery, inflate the cuff to approximately 20-30 mmHg above the estimated systolic pressure, then slowly deflate while listening for Korotkoff sounds.

Mechanism of Action

The device operates on the auscultatory method. A cuff is inflated around the arm, compressing the brachial artery. As the cuff is slowly deflated, a stethoscope is used to listen for Korotkoff sounds. The systolic pressure is recorded when the first clear sound is heard, and the diastolic pressure is recorded when the sounds disappear.
