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 on the
arm and connected to the blood pressure monitor the
measurement can begin:
a) Press the START/STOP button. The pump
begins to inflate the cuff. In the display, the
increasing cuff pressure is continually displayed.
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, a long
beep tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic
blood pressure values, as well as the pulse are now
displayed.
e) The appearance of this symbol signifies that an
irregular heartbeat was detected. This indicator is only
a caution. It is important that you be relaxed, remain
still and do not talk during measurements. NOTE: We
recommend contacting your physician if you see this
indicator frequently.
f) The measurement results are displayed until you
switch the device off. If no button is pressed for 1
minute, the device switches off automatically.
g) You can take a measurement while holding this moni-
tor in your hand if you do not want or have a hard sur-
face to place the unit on. However, you should always
hold the unit in the opposite arm of the cuff. If the cuff
is on the left arm, hold the blood pressure monitor in
your right hand.
