5.4. Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the
measurement can begin:
a) Press the ON/OFF 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 during the measure-
ment. When the device has detected the pulse, the
heart symbol in the display begins to blink and a beep
tone is audible for every pulse beat.
c) When the measurement has been concluded, a long
beep tone sounds. The measured systolic and diastol-
ic blood-pressure values as well as the pulse frequen-
cy are now displayed.
Example (Fig.): Systole 118, Diastole 73, Pulse 75
The measurement results are displayed, until you switch
the device off. If no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the
device switches automatically off, to save the batteries.
5.5. Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any eason
(e.g. the patient feels unwell), the "ON/OFF" power button can be pressed at
any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.
5.6. Memory – storage and recall of the measurements
The blood-pressure monitor automatically stores each of the last 120 mea-
surement values. By pressing the MEMORY button,an average value of the
last 3 measurements as well as the last measurement and the further last 120
measurements (MR119,MR118...,MR1)can be displayed one after the other.
(MR1: Values of the last measurement) (MR2-MR120: Values of the measurement before MR1)
