PulseTrace PCA2
Operating manual
I. Introduction - English
PulseTrace PCA2 is a mains/battery operated portable digital volume
pulse measurement system, with the unique combination of ease of
use and sophistication. Comprehensive pulse contour analysis (PCA)
and data management software is packaged in a sleek, compact unit.
PulseTrace PCA2 uses a high fidelity photo-plethysmography
transducer with a signal conditioning circuit to obtain an extremely
accurate and noise free signal. PulseTrace PCA2 has many advanced
features including real time blood volume waveform, signal
averaging, and pulse contour analysis. Indices that relate to arterial
stiffness and vascular tone are derived from the averaged volume
pulse and displayed. Normal values for the subject age are also
displayed.
Test results may be uploaded to a PC using the PCA-Upload software
supplied with every unit.
Stored data may be printed to the integral thermal printer or to an
external HP printer using the USB cable supplied.
