RELIABLE PRECISION
The measuring technique of ri-cardio is based on clinically validated technology that is
recognized by all three international standards:
• British Hypertension Society (BHS)
• European Society of Hypertension International Protocol (EHS)
• Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) SP10

PATIENT COMFORT AND COMPLIANCE
• Light and compact design
• Motion-tolerant technology reduces reduces re-infl ates and failed readings
• Dynamic infl ation above previous systolic reduces measurement time
• Quiet pump operation
• Flash memory eliminates the possibility of lost data

INDICATIONS
• Iatrogenic hypertension
• Therapy-resistant hypertension
• Masked hypertension
• Hypotension under anti-hypertensive therapy

BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF
• Patented, elastic cuff for a perfect fi t without disturbing closure. This prevents from
undesired slipping of the cuff and thereby missing measurements, especially at night.
• Curved design suitable for larger arm circumferences.
• Latex free
• Machine washable due to removable infl atable insert.

ri-cardio SOFTWARE
Is a user-friendly, Windows®-based program that allows maximal fl exibility in the
confi guration, analysis, interpretation and reporting of blood pressure studies.
• Interpretative overview– automated analysis of blood pressure values for the
normal range and nightly fall in blood pressure in accordance with AHA, ESH or JNC 7
guidelines.
• Analysis of iatrogenic hypertension – Comparison of the data collected in the first
hour with the data set for the full 24 hours. The software automatically points out any
possible iatrogenic hypertension.
• PDF-report compatible with patient data systems – Creation of a non-editable,
electronic report for storage in most
• Short-report – A simple report that summarizes the blood pressure graphs, an
interpretative overview, the nightly fall in blood pressure, statistics and selected patient
data on one page.
• Clear presentation of the statistical results – provides statistics for periods of wake
and sleep as well as average values in the summary for blood pressure, heart rate,
pulse amplitude, mean arterial pressure and blood pressure stress.
• Time periods – supplies statistical analyses within a user-defi ned time window.
