2. Next, the sleeve automatically inflates until the pressure required for a measure-
ment has been reached. Alternatively, you can create this pressure manually by
pressing and holding the START button after the device has automatically reached
a pressure of at least 300 mmHg. When you think that the device has reached the
ideal starting pressure for a measurement, release the START button. The increa-
sing pressure is displayed numerically.
3. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by releasing
the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the current pressure in the cuff.
NOTE
If you press the START button when the device is inflating, the inflation
process stops. The device switches off and the air escapes from the
sleeve.
4. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbol
display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, deflation is synchronised with the
beating of the heart until the measurement ends. The device beeps for each heart-
beat during this procedure, if you did not switch off the beep function beforehand.
At the same time, the pulse symbol
5. Once the measurement has been taken, the sleeve suddenly deflates and a longer
beep sounds.
6. The measured values of systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate are
shown on the display, together with the WHO blood pressure bar display. At the
same time, a longer beep sounds.
7. If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhythmia
symbol will flash eight times while the reading is displayed. You may also hear
8 short beeps; these warn the user of an irregular heartbeat.
8. If you do not press any buttons for approx. 1 minute, the device automatically
switches to standby mode.
3MAM measuring method
(3 consecutive measurements to calculate an average value)
To take a single measurement, you have to switch on the device using the ON/OFF
switch and be in standby mode. You have selected the 3MAM measuring method
(see section 3, subsection 3.6). You first have to complete any settings you require as per
section 3, subsections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7.
1. Press the START button. The device carries out a self test. Once this is complete,
