Measuring functions:
Blood pressure
Primary Client Use:
Intended for professional use including central aortic pressure
Measurement Site:
Radial Artery
Measurement Occurrence:
Continuous measurement
Availability:
Available Currently
Description:
The AtCor Sphygmocor Xcel is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Its blood pressure measurement technology has been proven to be accurate. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the radial artery. It is intended for professional use including central aortic pressure.
Assessment:
The technology used in the AtCor Sphygmocor Xcel, to measure blood pressure, has passed in a clinical validation study, in a general population, according to a recognised standard protocol, as published in a peer-reviewed publication.
Recommendations:
