Taking blood
pressure readings
1. Switch the unit on by pressing the START button
.
2. If the START button
is pressed, a beep is heard and all display
characters are shown (display test). This test can be used to check that the
display is indicating properly and in full. Following this the memory
currently set (U1 or U2) is displayed. Press the MEM button
to change
over to the other memory. Confirm your selection by pressing the START
button
.
3. The display shows the values from the previous measurement. Information
will be given in the language set if the language function is switched on.
If no measurement has been taken, zeroes will appear next to the date
and time.
4. The unit is ready for measurement, the number 0 is displayed, the start of
measurement will be announced if the language function is switched on.
It automatically inflates the cuff slowly in order to measure your blood
pressure. The pressure on the display changes continuously during the time
it continues to inflate.
5. The unit inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a measu-
rement. Then the unit slowly releases air from the cuff and carries out the
measurement.
6. When the measurement is finished, the cuff is deflated completely. The
systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the pulse value with the pulse
symbol appear on the display
. The blood pressure indicator
flashes next to the relevant coloured bar depending on the WHO blood
pressure classification (see page 13). The measured results will be announ-
ced in the language set if the language function is switched on. If the
unit has detected an irregular heartbeat, the arrhythmia display also
flashes.
7. The measured values are stored automatically. A total of up to 120
measured values with time and date can be stored in two memories (U1
and U2).
The unit has an automatic switch-off function. The unit switches off automati-
cally after a minute if no buttons are pressed.
The unit may also be switched off using the START button
.
The time and the date are constantly shown in the display.
Up to 60 measurements (blood pressure and pulse with time and date) may be
stored in each of the blood pressure monitor’s two memories. The measured
values are stored automatically. Press the MEM button
to call up the
measured values stored. The unit displays the memory set (U1 or U2). Pressing
the START button
switches to the other memory. The average measured
values of the last three measurements saved appear on the display if no button
is pressed for a duration of 5 seconds. An “A” (Average) appears instead of the
memory location number
. The data is announced in the language set if
the language function is switched on.
The values of the most recently saved measurement (memory location
number
e.g. “01”) including the flashing blood pressure indicator
are
displayed after pressing the MEM button
. If an arrhythmia was detected
