selecting the correct cuff
aponorm
®
by microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff
size to match the circumference of your upper arms (measured
by close fitting in the centre of the upper arm).
AfiB/MAM mode (highly recommended)
In AFIB/MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result is then automatically analysed and
displayed. Because blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a
result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced
by a single measurement. AFIB detection is only activated in
AFIB/MAM mode.
• After pressing the START/STOP button
1
, the selected
AFIB/MAM mode appears in the display as the MAM-
symbol
26
.
• The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2
or 3 to indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently
being taken.
• There is a break of 15 seconds between the
measurements (15 seconds are adequate according to
«Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2001, 6:145-147» for
oscillmetric instruments). A count down indicates the
remaining time.
• The individual results are not displayed. Your blood
pressure will only be displayed after all 3 measurements
are taken.
• Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
• If one of the individual measurements was questionable,
a fourth one is automatically taken.
