It has an auto-inflating cuff for easy measurement of blood pressure. The blood pressure trend chart and graph can be displayed right on the colour screen, without connecting to a computer. The monitor runs on 4 AA batteries (not included) and shuts off after 5 minutes idle time.
The Contec 08A includes a full featured fingertip pulse oximeter that is perfect for CPAP users who want to monitor their pulse and oxygen saturation periodically during the night, although this unit doesn't record oxygen saturation. This type of oximeter can help you as a CPAP user determine the effectiveness of your current CPAP pressure.
The Contec 08A features a colour, high-resolution 3" LCD panel. The easy-to-read display shows time, date, blood pressure, pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation, pulse waveform, trend graph, trend table, battery level indicator, and alarm indicator. It also can sound an alarm when the blood pressure moves outside a pre-set range (both systolic/diastolic high and low)
