Press any button to stop a blood pressure measurement.
Should the blood pressure measurements cause bloodshots, torpidity or pain in the
hand, the cuff should be removed from the arm immediately and disconnected from
the recorder. Such occurrence should be reported to the physician latest after the
monitoring session.
Don’t remove the recorder even at night.
By loosening the straps, patients can avoid problems when turning in their sleep.
The recorder does not disturb most patients at night.
Use the buttons, if necessary.
The patient can initiate extra blood pressure measurements by pressing the Start
button. By pressing the Event button the patient can mark events, e.g. taking
medication etc. The time of going to and rising from bed can be marked by the
Day/night button.
Should the batteries run down during a monitoring session, they can simply be
replaced.
Monitoring will continue and data will not be lost.
Don’t block the air flow in the cuff tube.
Take care to avoid blocking the air flow in the tube of the cuff and twisting the tube.
Never measure anybody else’s blood pressure with the recorder during an
ambulatory blood pressure monitoring session.
