5.5. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the
“ON/OFF” power button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.
5.6. Memory – storage and recall of the measurements
The blood-pressure monitor automatically stores each of the last 60 measurement values. By pressing the MEMORY
button, an average value of the last 3 measurements as well as the last measurement (MR1) and the further last 59
measurements (MR2, MR3, ..., MR60) can be displayed one after the other.
(MR1: Values of the last measurement)
(MR2-MR60: Values of the measurement before MR1)
5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the ON/OFF button, the pump begins to inflate the cuff. In the display, the increasing cuff-pressure is
continually displayed.
b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls
away. The cuff-pressure (large characters) is displayed during the measurement.
When the device has detected the pulse, the heart symbol in the display begins to
blink and a beep tone is audible for every pulse beat.
c) When the measurement has been concluded, a long beep tone sounds. The measured systolic and
diastolic blood-pressure values as well as the pulse frequency are now displayed.
Example (Fig.): Systole 118, Diastole 73, Pulse 75
The measurement results are displayed, until you switch the device off. If no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the device switches
automatically off, to save the batteries.
