5.3 Taking blood pressure readings
To avoid disruption from an incoming call or text message during a
reading, we recommend switching the iPhone to flight mode. You can
activate the CardioDock's blood pressure measuring mode in two ways:
a) Plug & Play:
Put the Apple device, when switched on, onto the CardioDock modu-
le. The VitaDock app automatically starts in blood pressure measuring
mode.G
b) Manual start:
Start the VitaDock app. Tap on the symbol „CardioDock"
and on the symbol "New"
dow opens. You are prompted to connect the CardioDock module (or
enter the value manually). Place the Apple device on the CardioDock
module.
Once you have put on the upper arm cuff and are in the measuring
position, start the reading by touching
Start/Stop button
The module automatically pumps up the cuff. Remain at rest during the
reading: Do not move and do not talk. While the cuff is pumping up, the
pulse icon flashes. The rising pressure is shown as an increasing
number, the pulse is shown as a wave.
Important:
- You can cancel the measure ment at any time by touching
pressing the Start/Stop button
from the cuff.
- If a call or a text message is received during the reading, the mea-
surement is cancelled. The cuff deflates.
5.4 The measurement result
The unit inflates the cuff until sufficient pressure has built up for a
measurement. Next, the device lets the air out of the cuff and
shows the reading:
•
Systolic pressure
•
Diastolic pressure
