4.5. Select Measuring Mode: Standard or Averaging Mode
This instrument enables you to select either standard (standard single measurement) or
Averaging Mode (automatic triple measurement).
To select standard mode, push the switch on the side of the
instrument towards «
1
», then only one measurement will be
taken. If you select «
3
», the unit will inflate and deflate three
times resulting in one final average measurement.
Averaging Mode Technology
• In Averaging Mode, three measurements are automatically taken in succession and
the result then automatically analyzed and displayed. Because your blood pressure
constantly fluctuates, a result determined in this way is more reliable than one pro-
duced by a single measurement.
• By pushing mode switch to «
3
», the selected Averaging Mode appears in the display
as the
symbol.
• The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to indicate which of
the 3 measurements is currently being taken.
• There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements (15 seconds are adequate
according to «Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2001, 6:145-147» for oscillometric instru-
ments). A count down indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound 5 seconds
before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.
• Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
