this procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm.
2. Press and hold the
START
button until
a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher
than the patient's expected systolic
pressure appears.
3. Release
the
START
button to start
measurement, when the desired

measure the patient's blood pressure
as described on the previous page.

What Is An Irregular Heartbeat
The UM-201 blood pressure monitor provides a blood pressure and
pulse rate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs. An
irregular heartbeat is defined as a heartbeat that varies by 25% from the
average of all heartbeats during the blood pressure measurement. It is
important that the patient be relaxed, remain still and do not talk during
measurements.
