Measuring Procedure; Discontinuing A Measurement; Memory - Recall Of Measurements - Microlife BP 3AC1-1 PC Manual De Instrucciones

Single mode:
a) If you would like to take single measurement, please slide the
switch toward no. 1.
b) Single mode only has 1 measurement.

5.5. Measuring procedure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the O/I button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. The rising
pressure in the cuff is shown in the display.
b) After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the pressure
gradually falls. The cuff pressures are displayed. In case that the 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 measurement results are displayed, until you switch the device off. If no
button is pressed for 5 minutes, the device switches automatically off, to
save the batteries.
f) When the device is set to MAM mode, 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. In case that the single data of
each cycle differ too much from each other, a fourth measurement is
performed before the result will be displayed. In rare cases the blood
pressure is such unstable that even after four measurements the data vary
too much. In this case «ERR 6» is shown and no result can be given. If one of
measurement causes an error message it is repeated.

5.6. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason
(e.g. the patient feels unwell), the 0/I button can be pressed at any time.
The device immediately lowers the cuff pressure automatically.
5.7. Memory – recall of measurements
This device automatically stores the last 99 measurements. By pressing the
«M» button, the number of stored measurements is displayed (e.g. 30 set). By
pressing again, the last measurement, e.g. MR30 as well as previous 29
measurements (MR29, MR28, ...MR1) can be displayed one after the other.
Data obtained in MAM mode are indicated by a «
10
» symbol.
