4. General Description
Cardiovascular Monitoring System consists of:
Multipurpose Smart Technology finger monitor
Base monitor
Wireless data transmission
Physician programmer
Compatible with Microsoft Excel
4
5. Intended Use
The Cardiovascular Monitoring System is indicated
for use for adults for in-home monitoring of
cardiovascular vital signs during exercise, during
rehab, after prescribed medication, and/or lifestyle
changes under the supervision of a licensed
healthcare practitioner. The device monitors and
displays systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart
rate, and arterial blood oxygen saturation.
5
6. Principle of Operation
Non-invasively measures:
Blood pressure – systolic and diastolic
Blood arterial oxygen saturation (SPO2)
Heart rate
Data is transmitted wirelessly from the finger unit and
measurements are displayed on the base monitor
Remote programming by physician
Patient can transmit data to physician via internet
Display patient data using Microsoft Excel
6
7. Principle of Operation: Non-Invasive
Blood Pressure
Cardiovascular Monitoring System uses the Oscillometric
method to measure the blood pressure.
The Oscillometric method senses the vibrating signal via
the closed air pipe system and utilizes the microcomputer
to automatically sense the characteristics of the pulse
signal.
The use of a stethoscope is not needed to monitor the
Korotkov sound when deciding the systolic or diastolic
pressure.
7
8. Principle of Operation: Non-Invasive
Blood Pressure
Through a simple calculation, the reading can reflect
the accurate real blood pressure.
The Systolic pressure is defined as the pressure
when the cuff pressure oscillating amplitude begins to
increase.
Diastolic pressure is the pressure when the cuff
pressure oscillating amplitude stops decreasing
8
9. Principle of Operation: Pulse Oximetry
Arterial oxygen saturation is measured by passing
light of two different wavelengths through the patients
finger to a photo detector.
The changing absorbance at each of the
wavelengths is measured, allowing determination of
the absorbance due to the pulsing arterial blood.
9
10. Principle of Operation: Heart Rate
Heart rate is measured with electrical signal
detection technology and is displayed as a digital
read out.
10
11. Principle of Operation Cont.
The system includes wireless technology to transmit
data from the patient sensor to the base monitor for
storage, analysis and display.
Physician can download patient data and display
results graphically or in tabular form using Microsoft
Excel
The data can be uploaded for remote monitoring by
a healthcare professional
11
12. Principle of Operation
Physician programmer establishes individual exercise
goals for blood pressure, arterial blood saturation, and
heart rate for cardiovascular patients:
during rehabilitation
after prescribed medications
lifestyle changes
12
13. Principle of Operation
The patient can send the data to the base monitor at
prescribed times as directed by the physician or the
physician can upload the data remotely for
monitoring/ interpretation of the data through the use
of wireless technology
Physician programmer will determine how downloaded
data will be displayed using Microsoft Office Excel, either
graphically, in tabular format or both

readings with the simulator set points.
30
31. Bench Testing
Verification testing to verify accuracy of the systolic and
