Exhaust 

Velocity

1. The exhaust velocity is Me rate of 

gradual pressure drop from the pres-

sure applied 

manually

using the rubber bulb.

2, The exhaust condition is displayed in the right portion of the display

from the time of pressurization until the measurement mark starts

flashing.

3. This unit is adjusted so that the exhaust velocity is 2-5  mmHg per

second at 150 mmHg.. Note: IF EXHAUST     VELOCITY IS NOT PROPER,

CORRECT MEASUREMENTS ARE NOT POSSIBLE.

Exhaust Velocity Adjustment

. Perform

this adjustment procedure

if the exhaust velocity is not within the

proper

range as described above.

Before exhaust

cover

must be removed.

velocity adjustment can be made, small plastic screw

To do this, hold area 

 in the figure, use a small pm or nee-

dle, insert into tiny hole on top and flip off 

s c r e w  

cover, then proceed to Step 1

pressurize to the pressure

6 0   mmHg above your

suspected systolic

pressure Hold the area 

 in

and insert a screwdriver into groove

2 ,

If the exhaust

velocity is too fast,

justing  screw one fraction of a turn to the

left- and if it is too slow, turn adjusting
screw one fraction

of a turn to the right,

so that the valve  shown in the right por-

tion of 

the 

display is in 

the range  2-5

mmHg/s.

3. When 

the adjustment is completed.

reduce the pressure

and recheck. If the

adjustment

is not 

proper 

after one  try,

repeat 

several times

 

NOTE: 

ADJUSTMENT MUST BE  MADE

 

WHILE 

THE CUFF IS 

EXHAUSTING.

 Exhaust velocity will differ slightly  de-

pending upon the size of the arm and
