Hingmed WBP-02A Hospital ABPM is wearable. Comparing traditional ABPM, it’s very small, light and is worn on people’s arm directly without air tube. The traditional ABPM used to be attached with a 1 meter longer air tube around patient body. WBP-02A Hospital has below strength:

1. More comfort for patient as there would be no air tube around patient body.

2. Minimized the ambulatory motion tolerance, improved the measurement consistency.

3. With rechargeable Li battery, ABPM users do not have to cost two AA batteries every day.

Hingmed ambulatory blood pressure monitor has an outstanding feature that it could provide the user's body position when taking blood pressure measurement, which could be very important in clinical research. Most hypertensive diseases, such as dizziness, nausea, brain death, happened under spirit pressure with body movement. Therefore, monitoring patient’s blood pressure should not be confined to a calm condition. Blood pressure measurement under ambulatory environment would more closely reflect patient normal blood pressure situation. And that would be extremely helpful on clinical diagnosis.

In addition, blood pressure data with body position information can help doctors to make a good judgment on orthostatic hypertension. Body position hypertension is that some patient would only have high blood pressure under standing or sitting posture, but normal at lying posture. Orthostatic hypertension accounts for 4.2% in domestic hypertension patients and 10% in abroad report. Orthostatic hypertension is characterized by that there is not hypertension in normal and just being found occasionally or in physical examination. Diastolic pressure rising-up and large fluctuation would represent in orthostatic hypertension and the individual could be accompanied by serious palpitation, tiredness, sleep quickly etc. In blood examination, the plasma rennin activity in orthostatic hypertension is higher than that of normal people, even than that of general hypertension patient.
