Medel SENSE Instrucciones De Uso página 48

Intended users: the use of the device does not require a
specific knowledge or professional ability.
The patient is the intended operator, except in case of pa-
tients that require special assistance.
Indication/clinical benefits
The user can record their blood pressure and pulse values
quickly and easily using the device. The recorded values are
classified according to internationally applicable guidelines
and evaluated graphically. Furthermore, the device can
detect any irregular heart beats that occur during measure-
ment and inform the user via a symbol in the display. The
device saves the recorded measurements and can also
output average values of previous measurements.
The recorded data can provide healthcare service providers
with support during the diagnosis and treatment of blood
pressure problems, and therefore plays a part in the long-
term monitoring of the user's health.
