Note:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be
placed on the right. However all measurements should be made
using the same arm.
5.4. Measuring procedure
After cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press «
O/I
» button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff.
Rising pressure in the cuff is shown in the display.
b) After suitable inflation pressure has been reached, pump stops and
pressure gradually falls, with cuff pressures being displayed.
In case that inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor automatically
re-inflates to a higher level.
c) When the instrument detects a pulse, the heart symbol in the display
starts to flash and a beep is heard for every heartbeat.
d) A longer beep is sounded when the measurement has been completed.
The systolic, and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate now appear in
the display.
e) The appearance of this symbol signifies that an irregular heartbeat was
detected. This indicator is only a caution. It is important that you be relaxed,
remain still and do not talk during measurements.
NOTE:
We recommend contacting your physician if you see this indicator
frequently.
f) The measurement readings remain on the display until you switch off the instrument.
If no button is pressed for a period of 1 minute the instrument switches itself off in
order to preserve the batteries.
g) When the unit is set to Average Mode setting, generally 3 separate
measurements will take place in succession and calculates your detected
blood pressure value. There will be 15 seconds resting time in-between
each measurement. A count down indicates the remaining time and a beep will
sound 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.
