d) Lay the arm on a table, with the palm upwards. Support
the arm a little with a rest (cushion), so that the cuff
rests at about the same height as the heart. Take care,
that the cuff lies free. Remain so for 2 minutes sitting
quietly, before beginning with the measurement.
5.4. Measuring procedure
Size: 17mm * 60mm
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
a) Press the button
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 measurement. 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
diastolic blood-pressure values as well as the pulse
frequency 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 1 minute, the device switches automatically off, to save the batteries.
