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:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on the right arm. However all
measurements should be made using the same arm.
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!
3.2 Measuring Your Blood Pressure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
1. Press the
START/STOP
button until all the symbols appear on the screen, “0” will flash for 2
seconds. The pump then begins to inflate the cuff. The increasing pressure in the cuff is shown
on the display.
2. After the suitable pressure has been reached, the pump stops and the cuff gradually deflates.
The cuff pressure will then be displayed. In case the initial inflation is not sufficient, the device
automatically re-inflates to a high pressure.
3. When the device detects a heartbeat, the heart symbol “ ” on the display starts to flash.
4. When the measurement has been completed, the systolic, diastolic and pulse rate will appear on
the display.
5. The measurement readings remain on the display until you switch off the device. If no button is
pressed, the device switches itself off in 3 minutes.
NOTE:
The symbol “
” will be displayed along with the reading if irregular heartbeat has been detected
during the measurement. If the “
” symbol appears frequently (e.g. several times a week), it may be
an indication of a more serious heart problem, and you should consult your doctor.
3.3 Discontinuing a Measurement
To stop the measurement (eg. the patient feels unwell) press the
START/STOP
button. The device will
immediately decrease the cuff pressure automatically.
3.4 Memory Recall
This blood pressure monitor automatically stores 30 measurements in its memory. The oldest record will be
replaced by the latest measurement value when there are more than 30 sets.
