Taking blood
pressure readings
Single reading
First attach the free end of the cuff's
on the unit. Open up the cuff to a ring and slip it over the bare left upper
arm just above the elbow region. If wearing tight clothing, ensure that the
circulation in the arm is not impaired when rolling up the sleeve. Please
ensure that the cuff buckle is never positioned directly over the artery, as this
can result in an incorrect blood pressure reading.
The tube should run along the centre of the inner arm towards the palm of the
hand. Ensure that the cuff itself is not twisted in any way.
Fasten the pressure cuff in such a way that it fits tightly but does not constrict
the arm. Do this by passing the end through the buckle, pulling it tight and
attaching it to the Velcro fastener.
• Take readings while in a seated position.
• Relax your arm and rest it lightly on a surface such as a table. Relax during
the measuring process: do not move or talk, as this can affect the results.
a. Press the START button
• All the display symbols will appear for approx. two seconds.
• The cuff will then inflate. The increasing pressure is displayed
numerically.
• Pressing the START button
process. The unit switches off and the cuff deflates.
b. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by
releasing the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the current
pressure in the cuff.
Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. As soon as the pulse can be
determined, deflation is synchronised with the beating of the heart until the
measurement ends. This procedure is accompanied by a beep and the heart
symbol flashes at the same time. The measurement is complete when the
cuff suddenly deflates and readings are displayed next to SYS, DIA and PUL,
together with the WHO blood pressure bar display
If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhythmia
symbol will flash while the reading is displayed.
