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. Taking a measurement
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the
measurement can begin. Remain still during your
measurement, do not flex muscles.
a) Remain seated quietly for 5 minutes before you
begin the measurement.
b) Press START/STOP. After the system check, the monitor
displays OK and the pump begins to inflate the cuff.
On the display, the increasing cuff pressure is
continually shown.
c) After automatically reaching an individual pressure,
the pump stops and the pressure slowly falls. The
cuff pressure is displayed during the measurement.
d) When the device has detected your pulse, the
heart symbol in the display begins to blink.
e) 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.
f) The measurement results are displayed for 60 seconds.
g) When the unit is set to the MAM (measurement
averaging mode) setting, 3 separate measure-
ments 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.
