Then the measuring process proper starts with defla-

rate (Fig. 3). The amplitude of each pressure wave
is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). The

The inflation and measuring procedure can be discon-
tinued by pressing the Start/Stop button. The device
stops inflation and deflates the cuff.

4. Calling up the memory

The device has a memory which makes it possible to
display the last 30 blood pressure levels measured.
If you press the memory button, the last figure meas-
ured appears (MR30). If you press again, you can
call up the previous 29 measurements (MR29, MR28
... MR1) one after the other.
After the 30th measurement the oldest measure-
ment (MR1) is deleted and replaced by the current
measurement.
Record the figures saved in your blood pressure
pass. Over a lengthy period this will provide you with
a better picture of your blood pressure situation,
which you may wish to discuss with your doctor.
