g) Remain seated quietly for at least 5 minutes before you begin
the measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on the 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 taking a measurement).
3.2 PAD - Pulse Arrythmia Detector Feature
This symbol
indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during the measurement. In this case,
the result may deviate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this
is no cause for concern. However, if the PAD symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week
with measurement taken daily), we advise you to consult your doctor. Please show your doctor the following
explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Pulse Arrythmia Heartbeat Symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse frequency during
measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed after the
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed
daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend the patient seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.
3.3 Viewing Previously Recorded Value
This instrument always stores the last result at the end of the measurement. To call up
the value, press and hold down the
ON/OFF
button (the instrument must be switched
off first). All display elements are now shown. Release the button when you see the
stored reading value and the letter <<
M
>>.
3.4 Discontinuing a Measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the
button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure automatically.
