5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement
can begin:
a)
Press the 0/I-button, the
pump begins to inflate the
cuff. In the display, the in-
creasing 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 dis-
played during the measure-
ment. 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.
