Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
When your measurement is complete the monitor will deflate
automatically, releasing the air pressure in the cuff.
The entire measurement process should take less than one
minute. Once measurement is complete the display will flash
between your blood pressure and pulse measurements.
Taking a Blood Pressure
Measurement
NOTE: Blood pressure constantly changes during the course of a
day. Occasionally, high or low readings do not necessarily mean
your monitor is malfunctioning or that you are ill. It is important to
speak with your doctor to learn what your normal blood pressure
is and if you experience related abnormal measurements.

Taking a Blood Pressure
Measurement
Once the cuff is properly applied and you are seated with your
feet flat on the floor you are ready to take a measurement.
Press the "START/STOP" button. The monitor
will inflate to 160mmHg. If the monitor
senses that you require a higher inflation
level, it will automatically increase the air
pressure to the level that's right for you.
You will feel the cuff get tighter around your arm - this is normal.
It should not inflate to the point of discomfort. If this occurs, the
cuff is secured too tightly. Press "START/STOP" and rewrap the
cuff leaving more room between your arm and the cuff.
Numbers will appear on the digital display. This is the normal
process the monitor goes through to determine your blood
pressure. Don’t be alarmed if you notice the numbers quickly
change, or go higher than you believe your blood pressure to be.
