Selecting The User; Measuring Blood Pressure - visomat soft and smart comfort 20 Mode D'emploi

C
• Put your feet on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Measurement in a lying position
• Lie on your back. Look up at the ceiling
during the measurement. Keep still and
do not move.
• Ensure that the measuring point on the
upper arm is approximately level with your heart. If the meas-
uring point is lower than the heart, the measured values may
be higher. If the measuring point is higher than the heart, the
measured values may be lower.
The results for measurements taken in a sitting and lying position
may differ slightly.

9. Selecting the user

The device is designed for two users. The values for the two users
are stored separately and can also be evaluated separately.
You may also use the two user memories to evaluate measure-
ments taken in morning and those taken in the evening separate-
ly. To do this, carry out the measurement in the morning using
user 1 and in the evening using user 2.
• Before taking the measurement, check that the correct user
is displayed.
• To change the user, press the user button for whose memory
bank you want to switch over to.
• Now carry out the measurement.

Also, you will be given another opportunity to assign the meas-
urement to the correct user after the measurement has been
taken (see page 50).

10. Measuring blood pressure

• Switch the device on using the Start/Stop
button. The following display appears (Fig-
ure 1):
• After the device has completed its calibra-
tion against the ambient air pressure (Fig-
ure 2), the automatically controlled inflation
process starts. The cuff slowly inflates dur-
ing the measurement procedure.
• Shortly after the inflation procedure begins,
a check is carried out to ensure that the cuff
has not been applied too loosely. If the cuff
is applied correctly, the
is not displayed by the time the pulse signal starts, the cuff is
too loose. In this case, you should repeat the measurement
after you have applied the cuff correctly (see
page 46).
• The measurement is carried out during infla-
tion. The symbol flashes in the display (Fig-
ure 3). In addition, beeps denote the pulse.
• Inflation stops as soon as the measured val-
ues are determined; the cuff is then auto-
matically deflated. A long beep denotes the
end of measurement.
• The determined systole, diastole and pulse
values, as well as the pulse pressure (PP) are
shown in the display (Figure 4).
