Measurements
Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use this
procedure.
1. Place the cuff on the arm
(preferably the left arm).
2. Press
the
START
button.
3. While the zero blinks, press and hold
the
START
button until a number
about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your
expected systolic pressure appears.
4. When the desired number is reached,
release the
START
button to start
measurement. Then continue to
measure your blood pressure as
described on the previous page.
Notes for Accurate Measurement
Sit down in a comfortable position. Place your arm on a table with your
palm facing upward and the cuff at the same level as your heart.
Relax for about five to ten minutes before taking a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect
this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and
the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
An individual's blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong
and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your
blood pressure.
Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. See page 5 for the description
of symbols.
This blood pressure monitor is intended for use by adults only. Consult with
your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use
this device unattended.
