Melissa MCM720 Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual


 
•A beep is heard and the number 0 flashes on the display.
Shortly afterwards, the armband is pumped up to 185
mmHg, while the pressure is continuously shown on the
display. The blood pressure monitor buzzes while the
armband is being pumped up.
•When the armband is pumped up to 185 mmHg, the
displayed figure falls again and the blood pressure
reading starts. The blood pressure monitor emits a
number of beeps while the reading is being taken. The
pulse is also measured, and the pulse symbol (c) is shown
on the display. The armband is automatically pumped up
if the pressure is too low.
Once the blood pressure reading has been taken, a long
beep is heard and the display shows the systolic pressure
(a), the diastolic pressure (b), the pulse (g) and the time.
There is also a symbol for the range the measured blood
pressure falls under: hypotension (k), normal (l), high
normal (m) or hypertension (n). The results are shown on
the display for around 3 minutes and then deleted. You
can also delete them by pressing the I/O/Start button
again.
If you need to take several readings, you should wait 5-10
minutes between each reading.
Please note! An individual reading says nothing about
your state of health. You can only get an idea of this after
a number of readings.
Storing blood pressure readings
The blood pressure monitor can store 80 blood pressure
readings in two groups of 40 readings. Once you have
taken a blood pressure reading and the results are shown
on the display, you can press the M1 button to save the
reading in group 1 or M2 to save the reading in group 2.
The display shows MEMO, a beep is heard and the
reading is saved.
Displaying saved blood pressure readings
Press the M1 button to display the saved blood pressure
readings in group 1 or the M2 button to display the saved
blood pressure readings in group 2.
The first reading in the selected group is displayed for
approximately 4 seconds. The display shows all the data
for the reading plus the reading number (j).
Press M1/M2 repeatedly to display the subsequent
readings in the selected group. Press and hold the button
to scroll through the readings. The reading number is
always displayed.
The blood pressure monitor automatically changes back
to the time display. If required, press the T button to
change back more rapidly.
