Comment
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also
be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the
same conditions (relax for several minutes before a reading).
5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the
measurement can begin:
a) Press START. After a series of short beeps, the pump
begins to inflate the cuff. On the display, the increasing
cuff pressure is continually shown.
b) After automatically reaching an individual pressure, the
pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The cuff
pressure is displayed during the measurement.
c) When the device has detected your pulse, the heart
symbol in the display begins to blink.
d) When the measurement has been concluded, the air will
automatically release from the cuff. The measured systolic
and diastolic blood pressure values, as well as the pulse,
are now displayed.
e) The measurement results are displayed until you switch
the device off by locking the touch screen.
f) When the unit is set to the MAM (measurement averaging
mode) setting, 3 separate measurements will take place in
succession, after which your result is calculated and
displayed as a single, averaged measurement (individual
results are not displayed). There is a 15 second resting time
between each measurement. A count-down indicates the
remaining time before the next reading begins.
If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will
be repeated one more time. If any additional error occurs, the
measurement will be discontinued and error code displayed.
