When you press the ON/OFF(O/I)button, all
the symbols on the display light up briefly.
This serves to check the display. Then all
the symbols go out and the air release sym-
bol ( ) begins to flash. When the symbol
( )appears, the monitor is ready to begin
measurement.
Your blood pressure is measured during
inflation, so it is important not to move. Sit
still and do not move your wrist! Do not talk!
Do not touch the monitor while it is measu-
ring.
The monitor automatically inflates the cuff
and the
measurement is taken within approx. 30
seconds.
Once the arrow appears in the display the
measurement is finished and deflation of the
cuff takes place.
After this the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure is shown, with the pulse reading.
This reading will be stored in the memory.
If a measuring error has occured, this will be indicated by E or EE Please
refer to the instructions on page 7.
Measurement of blood pressure is now complete. Press the button to
turn power off.
Wrist blood pressure is measured at the different region from the usual bra-
chial blood pressure measurement and may show a slightly different value. In
many cases, the difference between the wrist and the brachial blood pressures
can be up to ± 10 mmHg both for the systolic and the diastolic pressures for
healthy people.
Should you forget to turn off the power, it will turn itself off automatically after 2
minutes. The previous reading will remain in the memory even if the batteries
run down or are replaced.
If you wish to repeat the measurement, you should remove the cuff for
at least 3 minutes because if you take the next measurement immediatly,
a slight blood congestion may occur which can lead to incorrect measure-
ments or an error message.
Keep a record of your measurements. In this way both you and your doctor
will have an accurate overview of your blood pressure situation.
