c) After the inflation process remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting
position. The measurement now proceeds on its own. If no
measurement takes place and all that appears in the display is
a flashing, upwards pointing arrow, see below under «Inflate
further». When the device detects a pulse, a heart symbol in the
display starts to flash.
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.
At the same time, the cuff pressure will be automatically re-
leased by the quick release valve of the device.
5.5. Inflating further
If the cuff is not inflated sufficiently, the measurement is broken off
after a few seconds and a flashing arrow pointing upwards appears
in the display. It is then necessary to inflate further to at least
20 mmHg higher than the previous value. The instruction to inflate
further can appear several times if the pressure is still not sufficient.
Attention:
If the cuff is inflated too far (over 300 mmHg), «HI» appears in the
display and a warning signal is sounded. The cuff pressure must
then be immediately released by pressing the 0/I button.
As soon as the cuff is inflated sufficiently and the measurement is
proceeding, continue as described under points c-d.
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 immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.
5.7. Memory – displaying the last measurement
The measured results are stored in the device 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 O/I button for at least 3 seconds.
6. Error messages/malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement, the measurement
is discontinued and a corresponding error code is displayed.
