TAKING A MEASUREMENT
37
If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press
and hold the START/STOP button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40
mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure.
NOTES:
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates.
Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
WARNING
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
CAUTION
Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising
where the cuff is applied.
