Omron VP-1000 Measurement Process

  1. Ask the patient to lay down in a supine position and relax
  2. Apply the VP-1000's 4 blood pressure cuffs (1 to each arm, 1 to each ankle)
  3. Apply the 2 ECG sensors to the inner aspect of wrists, using appropriate gel sensor pads
  4. Place the PCG (Phonocardiogram) over the heart (left of the sternum, 2nd intercostal space)
  5. Navigate the set-up screens inputting patient specific data as required (takes only minutes)
  6. Once the patient is relaxed and the ECG/PCG sensors are indicating ‘OK’ on the screen,
    press ‘START’
  7. The VP-1000 will automatically complete test and produce printed reports
  8. Once the test is concluded and the reports are printed, disconnect the VP-1000 from the patient
