Product description
Buttons
All buttons are located in the front casing of the blood pressure monitor (see Fig. 1)).
The ON/OFF button turns the blood pressure monitor on and off. To avoid accidental switching
ON/OFF
on or off, the button only reacts after 2 seconds.
You can also prematurely terminate the measuring process with this button, as well as with
any other button: the pressure in the cuff is then quickly released (also see the section on
warnings).

DAY/NIGHT
The awake and sleep phases can be separated during recording with the DAY/NIGHT button,
which is important for statistics and graphic representations. The detailed specification
regarding the implications for the printout can be found in the respective chapters for the
evaluation units.
The detailed specification regarding the implications for the printout can be found in
the HMS CS operating manual.
In short: The patient is instructed to press the DAY/NIGHT button when going to bed and
again when getting up in the morning. This individually adapts the measurement interval to the
patient and assists you in the analysis of the blood pressure profile. Next to the interval
adjustment, you will find corresponding notes on the printout. If this button is not pressed, the
interval is changed according to the log set.
