Dr. Odin Digital Blood Pressure Monitor ( OBP101 )

The Dr. Odin Digital Blood Pressure Monitor (OBP101) is an automated device designed for measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as pulse rate. It operates on the oscillometric principle, employing an internal pump for automatic inflation and a controlled air valve for deflation and rapid air release.

The device is powered by four AAA batteries, providing a portable solution for health monitoring. Its measurement range for pressure is from 0 to 290 mmHg (0-39 kPa), and for pulse, it is between 40 and 180 pulses per minute. The accuracy of pressure readings is within +/- 3 mmHg (0.

4 kPa), and pulse accuracy is within +/- 5% of the reading. The monitor features an automatic power-off function after two minutes of inactivity to conserve energy. Its dimensions are 16.

5 x 12.5 x 8 cm, with a weight of 400 grams. The unit includes the BP monitor, four AAA batteries, a user manual, a carry pouch, and a cuff.

It is presented in a white color.

This device is intended for use by adults to obtain blood pressure and pulse rate readings. The oscillometric method allows for non-invasive measurement by detecting oscillations in the artery as blood is pumped out. The automatic inflation and deflation process simplifies the user experience, requiring minimal manual intervention.

The device is designed to provide consistent and reliable measurements, aiding in the tracking of cardiovascular health. The inclusion of a carry pouch and its relatively compact size facilitate its use in various settings, including home environments and clinical practices.

Key features of this blood pressure monitor include its dual-user capability, allowing for the storage of up to 60 readings for each of two individuals. This is beneficial for households where multiple people monitor their blood pressure. The large LED display with a backlight enhances readability, particularly in dimly lit conditions, and displays measurements clearly.

A notable feature is the talking function, which vocalizes the readings and can provide context based on WHO standards, offering assistance to individuals with visual impairments. This function can also be muted if preferred. The monitor also includes an arrhythmia detection feature, indicated by a specific symbol on the display, which alerts the user to potential pulse irregularities.

The device offers dual power options, supporting operation via USB connection in addition to battery power, providing flexibility in usage. An alarm function is integrated to signal when measurements indicate elevated blood pressure levels.

This digital blood pressure monitor is suitable for a range of users, including patients who need to monitor their blood pressure regularly at home, as well as healthcare professionals in clinical settings for routine patient assessments. Caregivers may also utilize the device to assist individuals under their care. Typical applications include routine monitoring of hypertension, tracking the effectiveness of blood pressure medication, and general health surveillance.

The device's portability makes it appropriate for individuals who travel or require measurements outside of a traditional healthcare facility.

Important usage notes include ensuring the cuff is applied correctly to the upper arm, as per the user manual instructions, for accurate readings. It is recommended to remain still and avoid talking during the measurement process. If the arrhythmia detection symbol appears frequently, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further medical evaluation.

The device is designed for adult use only. The warranty period for this product is 12 months from the date of purchase. The monitor automatically powers off after two minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

The device is intended for non-invasive measurement of arterial blood pressure and pulse rate in adults.
