Introduction
This directions for use manual is a comprehensive guide designed to help you understand the capabilities and operation
of the ProBP 2400 digital blood pressure device. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to setup, congure, use,
troubleshoot, or maintain the device.
Intended use
The ProBP 2400 is a non-invasive digital blood pressure device using oscillometric technique and an upper-arm blood
pressure cuff to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) for use in
pediatric and adult populations with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm.
The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and gives a warning signal with the reading
once the irregular heartbeat is detected.
The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected
preeclampsia.
The ProBP 2400 combines the advantages of an automatic blood pressure device and auscultatory sphygmomanometer. It
is designed to provide convenient, accurate and reliable ofce blood pressure measurements according to guidelines of the
European Society of Hypertension (ESH)
1
, American Heart Association (AHA)
2
, and World Health Organization (WHO)
3
with
the only modication that the ProBP2400 performs 3 repeated measurements always, regardless of the result of the rst two
measurements.

Pregnancy
Approximately 20% of women develop hypertension during pregnancy (Pre-eclampsia or Toxemia) which may affect
pregnancy. Pre-eclampsia, can usually be recognized by a clear increase in blood pressure and high urine protein levels after
20 weeks of gestation. Since many oscillometric devices appeared to be unsuitable for use in pregnancy and Pre-eclampsia
health care authorities require that blood pressure monitors used for this vulnerable patient group are specically tested.
The Welch Allyn ProBP 2400 digital blood pressure monitor has successfully passed this validation and therefore may be
recommended for use during pregnancy and Pre-eclampsia.

NIBP (non-invasive blood pressure) warnings and cautions
WARNING ProBP 2400 is not intended to measure blood pressure on children
younger than 3 years of age.
WARNING Do not compress the blood pressure hose or cuff. This may cause system
errors or patient safety risks to occur.
WARNING Inaccurate measurement risk. Do not use the device on patients who are
experiencing convulsions or tremors.
WARNING Use only blood pressure cuffs and hoses listed as approved accessories
to ensure safe and accurate of blood pressure measurements.
WARNING Patient injury risk. When several blood pressure measurements are
taken on the same patient, regularly check the cuff site and extremity for possible
ischemia, purpura, and/or neuropathy.
WARNING Do not allow a blood pressure cuff to remain on the patient more than
5 minutes when inated above 15 mmHg. Excessive cuff tightness may cause
venous congestion, peripheral nerve injury, discoloration of the limb, and patient
distress.
WARNING Patient injury risk. Never install Luer Lock connectors on Welch Allyn
blood pressure tubing. Using these connectors on blood pressure cuff tubing
creates the risk of mistakenly connecting this tubing to a patient’s intravenous line
and introducing air into the patient’s circulatory system.
WARNING NIBP measurements may be inaccurate in the presence of excessive
motion artefact. Minimize extremity and cuff motion during blood pressure readings.
WARNING The position and physiologic condition of the subject can affect a blood
pressure reading.
CAUTION If the blood pressure cuff is not at heart level, note the difference in reading
due to the hydrostatic effect.
CAUTION Proper blood pressure cuff size and placement is essential to the accuracy
of the blood pressure determination. See Blood pressure cuff selection for sizing
information.
CAUTION The blood pressure cuff must be properly positioned to ensure blood
pressure accuracy and patient safety. Wrapping the cuff too loosely (preventing
proper ination) may result in inaccurate blood pressure readings.
CAUTION The patients should be comfortably seated, legs uncrossed, feet at on
the oor, back and arm supported. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of
the heart.
CAUTION Recommend the patients to sit down and relax for at least 5 minutes prior
to the measurement and not talk during the measurement procedure.

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)
The device measures the true mean arterial pressure
(MAP) of the patient. Each measurement includes a single
MAP value. The MAP value will always be displayed
together with the systolic and diastolic blood pressure
value.
Irregular heartbeat detector in «1x» Mode
The device detects irregular heartbeat in «1x» Mode.
The irregular heartbeat symbol shows up if during a
blood pressure measurement the heart rate has varied
by more than 25%. In case of an irregular heartbeat the
blood pressure measurement might be affected. It is
recommended to repeat the measurement or to choose
the «Manual» Mode for verication.
The Mean Arterial Pressure, MAP is determined from
the maximum peak of the oscillometric envelope curve.
