Taking readings with the boso TM-2430 PC2
➡
Once the cuff has been correctly fitted, a test reading can be taken
with the boso TM-2430 PC2 using the START/STOP button (the
result will only be displayed if the device has been programmed
accordingly). If this reading is successful, automatic interval con-
trol (see below) can be started. The test reading will be assessed
along with the other readings.

Please note
that the oscillometric method of measuring blood
pressure can give inaccurate results in some types of patients.
Individuals with cardiac dysrhythmia, arteriosclerosis, circulation
disorders or diabetes, or who have a pacemaker, should undergo a
comparative reading with an auscultatory device before you start to
take readings. The same applies to pregnant women.
External disturbances, e.g. movements of the measuring arm, dis-
turbing vibrations e.g. driving by car or the use of public transport
during the measurement can lead to incorrect measurements.
For this reason, the protocol recorded by the patient has to be exa-
mined and included in the assessment.
Starting automatic interval control
➡
To start automatic interval control, hold the black button down
until the letter “A“ appears on the display screen of the blood
pressure measuring device and a brief audible signal is emitted
(after about 5 seconds) to indicate that the button has been held
down for long enough.
When the device is being used in sleep mode, the patient must press
the black button before going to sleep. An “S“ for sleep appears on
the display screen next to “A“ for automatic. The patient must press
the black button again after getting up, and the “S“ on the display
screen then disappears.
