Introduction
The RICH LIFE Project Blood Pressure Training Guidebook is a comprehensive training program designed to support accurate blood pressure measurement at primary care practices.
The guidebook consists of training videos, handouts, and competency checklists to ensure clinical staff members are certified in using the Welch Allyn Connex Spot Monitor (Model 7IXX-B) and performing manual BP measurements.
Device Overview
The Welch Allyn Connex is an automated BP measurement device validated against the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation standard.
The device offers a range of cuff sizes, from “Small Infant” to XL/Thigh”, and is used in many primary care practices throughout the United States.
Blood Pressure Measurement Protocol
The guidebook outlines protocols for performing automated and manual screening BP measurements, including how to prepare the patient, apply the cuff, and record the BP value.
Automated screening BP measurements should be performed at all office visits, typically when rooming a patient before they see their provider.
