Many healthcare providers still may not be following AHA recommendations for more accurate blood pressure measurement. If this isn't addressed, it leaves health systems at serious risk. 30 million Americans are at risk by overestimating true blood pressure by 5 mmHg, leading to inappropriate treatment. The impact of overmedication can also result in complications such as dizziness, fainting, exhaustion, or even patient falls. The Midmark 626 is the first chair of its kind designed to ?promote proper patient ?positioning for a more accurate blood pressure ?measurement.

Patient Support Rails+ Model

Features

• Better BP
  • For a more accurate blood pressure measurement, the patient's arm should be supported at heart level. If the upper arm is below heart level or unsupported, the readings will be too high. If the upper arm is above heart level, the readings will be too low.
• Better Positioning
  • The Patient Support Rails+ accessory functions the same as the Patient Support Rails with the added benefit of helping providers achieve proper positioning of the patient's arm for blood pressure capture and blood draw applications.
• Better Arm Support
  • Easily support the patient's arm at heart level with the Patient Support Rails+ accessory. The unique articulating arm pad design allows for more precise positioning for blood pressure capture or other similar applications.
