Setting maximum inflation pressure
1) Press and hold the Memory Button for three seconds until the column
with pressure values flashes.
2) Press the Start/Stop Button to select the preferred pressure value (after
value “260” has been reached the selector will return to “AUTO” at the
bottom of the list).
3) Press the Memory Button to confirm the selected value.
If the maximum inflation pressure selected (or the maximum inflation pressure
as determined while in AUTO mode) is not adequate to determine systolic
pressure, the device will reinflate to a pressure 30 mmHg higher than the
previous inflation pressure and attempt another cycle. This can be repeated
increasing the maximum inflation by 30 mmHg each time. If a maximum
inflation pressure of 280 mmHg is reached, and the e-sphyg 3 is unable to
determine a blood pressure, an error code will be displayed.
It is recommended at this point to switch to the manual mode and determine
blood pressure with a stethoscope using traditional Korotkoff method (see
«
Manual
»
Mode, page 19
).
The inflation pressure selection (mmHg/kPa) can be done in

, or Manual Mode. The default setting is “AUTO.”
Push and hold for
3 seconds...
When set to AUTO, the e-sphyg 3 will automatically determine
the maximum inflation pressure as it inflates the cuff.
