The PTT is the time required for the pulse wave to propagate along the vessel wall between two defined points. In the case of the SOMNOtouch NIBP – From the left ventricle of the heart (defined by the ´R´peak of the ECG) – to the finger tip (detected by the plethysmograph).
5 Simultaneous measurements in one device
In addition to the continuous, non-reactive long-term blood pressure measurement, further diagnostically relevant information are simultaneously recorded in one measurement
Due to the parallel recording, the measurement results can be correlated directly with each other, which allows a deeper insight into the nocturnal blood pressure behaviour.
Continuous ABPM with every heart beat
The course of nocturnal blood pressure has a high diagnostic value.
Continuous blood pressure determination without a cuff offers a multitude of advantages in nocturnal blood pressure measurements during sleep:
Continuous Measurement: Covers all maxima and minima in blood pressure history and shows all information about blood pressure during sleep. This allows more accurate findings about nocturnal blood pressure behavior and to determine dipping / non-dipping safely.
The hydrostatic effect during body position changes is minimized.
Long-term ECG
3 channel ECG
The following reports are offered as standard.
• ECG report
• Stress report based on HRV
• Export to different file formats (EDF, SCP, ASCII, etc.)
However for advanced analysis we offer a Schiller software plugin for our Domino Software (optional)
ECG Holter analysis: analysis of arrhythmias and ST-distance measurement.
