Measurements
• Accurate measurement cannot be made if the exhaust velocity is outside
the range of 2 to 5 mmHg. This can be determined by watching the
display each time the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes. Note the
reading as the "Measurement in Progress" mark flashes.
Notes for proper measurement
Sit in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a
table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as
your heart.
• Relax for about five or ten minutes before starting a measurement. If you
are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will
reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure
reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.
• An individual’s blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you
are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very
strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.
• This device bases its measurements on the heart beat. If you have a very
weak or irregular heart beat, the device may have difficulty determining
your blood pressure.
• Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the
measurement and display an error symbol. See the section on the
descriptions of display symbols for details.
• This blood pressure device is intended for use by adults only. Consult
with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not
use this device unattended.
