e)
Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a way that it
lies comfortably and is not too tight. Lay the arm on the
table (palm upwards) so that the cuff is at the same height
as the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
f)
Remain seated quietly for two minutes before you begin the
measurement.
Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed
on the right one. However all measurements should be made using
the same arm.
5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned the measurement can begin:
a)
Press the O/I + MEMORY-button, – the pump begins to inflate the cuff.
In the display, the increasing cuff-pressure is continually displayed.
b)
After reaching the inflation pressure, the pump stops and the pressure
slowly falls away. The cuff-pressure (large characters) is displayed dur-
ing the measurement.
c)
When the device has detected the pulse, the heart symbol in the display
begins to blink and a peep tone is audible for every pulse beat.
d)
When the measurement has been concluded, a long peep
tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastolic blood-pres-
sure values as well as the pulse frequency are now displayed.
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.
5.5. Memory – displaying the last measurement
The measured results are stored in the instrument until a
new measurement is carried out or the batteries are
removed. You can call up the stored values at any time by
pressing the MEMORY button for at least 3 seconds.
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 O/I button
can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately
lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.
