Novel Holter Monitor Helps Control Hypertension

A third generation ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device sets new standards and opens up new perspectives in the management of hypertension.

The SCHILLER BR-102 plus is designed with a focus on patient comfort and highly accurate measurements made using both the auscultatoric and the oscillometric methods. The purely oscillometric method enables reliable blood pressure measurement without microphone, while the combined auscultatory and oscillometric methods are used in parallel as a backup to ensure accurate results for each measurement. The device includes motion-tolerant technology that prevents reinflation and failed readings and dynamic inflation to 30 mmHg above the previous systolic reading, which helps to reduce measurement time.


Measurement results can be processed using the DARWIN2 evaluation software, a user-friendly, windows-based software program that allows maximum flexibility for configuration, analysis, interpretation, and the generation of comprehensive and professional reports. The SCHILLER BR-102 plus is available in five cuff sizes, from pediatric to XL adult size, delivering optimal measurement accuracy and maximum comfort. Moreover, the cuff will only inflate as much as necessary via the built-in silent pump, further reducing the pressure felt by the patient and helping to overcome “white coat” syndrome.

The SCHILLER BR-102 plus is a product of SCHILLER (Baar, Switzerland). Device measurements has been clinically validated and meet internationally recognized standards set by the British Hypertension Society (BHS), the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol (ESH), and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) SP10. The device has also been recommended by dablEducational Trust (Dublin, Ireland), which reports evidence-based information on blood pressure measurement.
