i) Consecutive measurements will cause blood
accumulation in the lower arm which will affect the
measuring results. To improve reading accuracy, raise
the arm being measured, squeeze and relax your hand
several times, then take another measurement. Another
option is to take the cuff off and wait at least 5 minutes
before repeating measurement.
j) If this device was stored in low temperature, it is necessary to leave it in room temperature for at
least 1 hour, otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate.
Comment:
Continue to use the same arm for comparisons. It is not unusual for there to be a difference in blood
pressure between arms.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (Relax for several minutes
before taking a measurement).
ATTENTION: Do not use a cuff other than the original cuff contained in this kit!
3.4 Measuring Your Blood Pressure
After following the guidelines described in the previous section and placing the cuff around your upper
arm, you are now ready to measure your blood pressure. Follow these steps to record your measurement.
1. Press the button to turn on the device and start measurement. The LCD screen is turned on. The
cuff begins to inflate while the increasing cuff pressure is displayed on the screen. After the suitable
inflation pressure is reached, the cuff stops inflating and the pressure gradually falls. A long beep
sounds when the measurement is completed. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure values along
with the pulse rate are displayed on the screen. The measurement is displayed for approximately 1
minute.
2. Switch off the device by pressing the button to preserve the batteries. If no button is pressed for 1
minute, the instrument switches the display off.
NOTE:
The time will continuously be displayed on the screen.
3.5 Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator (only in MAM mode)
This symbol
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement. If AFIB is
present during blood pressure measurement, the AFIB Indicator is displayed. The AFIB
will flash
8 times rapidly once the measurement is complete and then stop flashing. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure. It is highly recommended to take an additional measurement
an hour later to increase the specificity of the detection. In most cases, this is no cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measurements taken
daily) we advise you to visit your doctor. Please, provide the following explanation:
