Inflate the cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg
higher than the expected systolic pressure. If you
do not know the value of this pressure, inflate to
a value of approximately 160–180 mmHg. The
cuff pressure is shown continuously on the
display.
d) After the inflation process lay down the pump
ball and remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting
position. The measurement now proceeds on its

appears in the display is a flashing, upwards

symbol in the display starts to flash and a beep
is heard for every heart beat.

long beep tone sounds. The measured systolic
and diastolic blood pressure values as well as
the pulse are now displayed.
The cuff pressure can now be quickly released
