Measurements
The standard configuration allows patients to measure blood pressure, heart rate, saturation and weight. Also height can be inserted manually.
Alviscan can be extended with automated height measurement and temperature. Based on the characteristics of the patient’s appointment, the set of measurements can even be tailored on a personal level to ensure Alviscan measures what matters.

Blood pressure
Blood pressure
During the blood pressure measurement, the systolic and diastolic pressure are measured automatically. All the patient has to do is put their arm into the device and press start on the screen. The on-screen instructions guide the patient on proper positioning of the arm during the measurement.
Heart rate
Heart rate
Depending on the measurements included in the measurement protocol the patient’s heart rate will be measured either during the blood pressure or the saturation measurement. In case heart rate is measured with the blood pressure monitor, also irregularity of the pulse can be detected.
Saturation
Saturation
The oxygen level in the blood is measured with a pulse oximeter. To perform the measurement, the patient inserts his or her finger into the sensor. The measurement starts and ends automatically. The Alviscan self-measurement kiosk provides feedback to the patient about the position of the finger.
Weight
Weight
Alviscan has a scale which is integrated into the floor panel. To measure weight, a patient simply needs to stand up and wait a few seconds.
Height
Height
Alviscan can measure a patient’s height using three precision sensors strategically positioned above the patient’s head, enabling to pinpoint the patient’s exact standing position. When the patient stands for the weight measurement, the height is determined at the same time. Height measurements is optional, patients can also enter their height manually via the touchscreen.
Body Mass Index
Body Mass Index
Based on the weight and height of the patient, Alviscan can present the Body Mass Index. To register the height, either the height measurement or the manual height input can be used.
Temperature
Temperature
Body temperature is measured using a contactless infrared temperature sensor. The measurement is very easy to perform; the patient just needs to look at the sensor lens.
Pain scale
Pain scale
Body temperature is measured using a contactless infrared temperature sensor. The measurement is very easy to perform; the patient just needs to look at the sensor lens.
“Blood pressure readings are more reliable and often lower; as a result, we need to repeat measurements or refer to the triage department less frequently. This reduces patient anxiety and eases the workload for our triage and emergency departments.”

We're here to answer your questions
Is Alviscan a medical device?
Alviscan is a medical system in accordance with Article 22 of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The blood pressure monitor, pulse oximeter and scale integrated into Alviscan are medical devices.
Does Alviscan carry a CE mark?
According to Article 22 of the MDR, medical systems are not allowed to carry their own CE mark. Therefore, Alviscan itself does not have a CE mark. The (medical) equipment in the system all has its own CE mark.
At what age is it suitable to start using Alviscan for measurements?
Alviscan is intended to be used by adult laypersons.
