Measurements
Model UA-855 is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to a
systolic pressure level automatically.
If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, read
"Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure" on the next page.
Normal Measurement
1. Set the User selection switch to either User 1
or User 2.
2. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).
Sit quietly during measurement.
3. Press
the
START
button. The
START
button
illuminates in orange in the morning (AM) and
blue in the afternoon (PM).
0 (zero) is displayed blinking briefly. Then
the display changes, as indicated in the
figure at the right, as the measurement
begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is
normal for the cuff to feel very tight.
Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any
time, press the
START
button again.
4. When inflation is complete, deflation starts
automatically and
(heart mark) blinks,
indicating that the measurement is in
progress. Once the pulse is detected, the
mark blinks with each pulse beat.
Note: If an appropriate pressure is not
obtained, the device starts to inflate
again automatically.
5. When the measurement is complete, the
systolic and diastolic pressure readings,
pulse rate and the WHO classification are
displayed. The cuff exhausts the remaining
air and deflates completely.
6. Press
the
START
button to return to the clock
display. Or the device returns to the clock
display one minute after measurement.
Note: Allow at least ten minutes between
measurements on the same person.
