DynaPulse Pathway System
The DynaPulse Pathway System uses software patterned after the DynaPulse
200M series. Though this software has a newly designed algorithm that
produces blood pressure measurements that correlate to readings obtained
manually in a physician's office. The Pathway will track unlimited number of
patients and their data while producing a choice of trend graphs to report
the blood pressure measurements. With a couple of clicks you can easily
upload data to the DynaPulse Analysis Center for further hemodynamic
parameter studies. It is an auto-pump for easy cuff inflation and is AC/DC
powered.
Flexibility
The DynaPulse Pathway System can be used in several areas:
- Hypertension
- CHF (Chronic Heart Failure)
- Weight Control
- Diabetes
- Smoking Cessation
- Hyperlipidemia
- Various Cardiac diagnoses
- Hemodynamic Analysis (Internet Services)
Monitoring Plus+
Unlike other blood pressure monitors, the
DynaPulse Pathway serves as a tracking and reporting tool for an unlimited
number of patients. The auto-pump feature also allows for interval cycle
measurements.
Affordability
The DynaPulse monitor is an affordable, clinical grade instrument. It is one
of the most reliable and accurate blood pressure monitors on the market. It
is a registered medical device under FDA 510(k), exceeds AAMI standards, and
yet is still very affordable.
Each DynaPulse Pathway System package is complete with:
- DynaPulse Pathway monitor
- DynaPulse Pathway software on CDROM
- Serial Communication Cable
- Large, Standard, and Small adult blood pressure cuffs without D-bar
- DynaPulse Pathway User's Guide
- AC power cord
- One Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty
All DynaPulse monitors have an adjustable air release valve that allows the user to set the appropriate release rate of 30 +/- 5 seconds from start to finish of a measurement. Total measurement time of longer than 50 seconds may give higher systolic readings and/or "Increase High Range" error message due to the cuff pressure not being able to drop down below the diastolic point.
>It is NOT recommended to use any DynaPulse device on infants or newborns.
DynaPulse Pathway uses a single tube flat cuff and D-ring cuffs are available for easier self application.
Measurements Taken
As with all DynaPulse monitors, the Pathway measures:
- Systolic Blood Pressure
- Mean Arterial Pressure
- Diastolic Blood Pressure
Reports Generated
Measurements
The Measurement screen is the display of the results of a blood pressure reading. To the upper right side you will find the measurement results.
Along the lower portion is the Pulse Waveform, which is what you use to detect arrhythmia's and for validation purposes. Once you save the data it will automatically update all the trend information.
Trend Graph
The Trend Graph is the first screen that appears when you click on a patient's name. This shows the blood pressure readings for that patient over time.
Visually you and your patient can easily see how their blood pressure is doing over time. Time is shown on the horizontal axis and the measurements are on the vertical axis.
Trend Analysis
The most important screen is the Trend Analysis. This provides a statistical report based on the Trend Graph. Use the Trend Analysis to document numerically the results of your interventions:
- How effective is the current medication compared to the older medication?
- What is the change in blood pressure?
