OPERATING THE DEVICE
Putting on the arm cuff
1.
Place the arm cuff flat on a table with the hook and loop side facing
down. Pass the end of the arm cuff through the metal loop so that a
circle is formed. The hook and loop fastener is now visible from the
outside.
2.
Push the arm cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube lies in the
direction of the lower arm.
3.
Push the arm cuff over the arm as shown. Make sure that the lower
edge of the arm cuff lies about 2 to 3 cm above the elbow and the
rubber tube of the arm cuff lies on the inner side of the arm.
4.
Pull on the free end of the arm cuff and close the arm cuff using the
hook and loop fastener.
5.
The arm cuff should now be tight on your upper arm, so that 2 fin-
gers fit between the arm cuff and upper arm. Each item of clothing
that is tight on the arm must be removed.
6.
Fasten the arm cuff with the hook and loop fastener in such a way
that it fits comfortably and not too tightly. Lay your arm on a table
(palm upward), so that the arm cuff is at the same height as the
heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.
Please note:
If it is not possible to put the arm cuff on the left arm, it can also be placed
on the right side. All measurements should, however, be carried out on
the same arm.
Measurement
As soon as the cuff is suitably positioned, you can start the measurement.
Before you can start measuring your blood pressure, you must select the respective use by
pressing the Set button (B).
Now press the Start/Stop button (A) in order to confirm the selection and to start the
measurement.
•
For a period of 3 seconds, all symbols are shown on the display.
Afterwards, the display shows the value "00". The device is now ready
to carry out a measurement and automatically starts inflating the cuff.
•
As soon as the device has built up sufficient pressure within the cuff,
it automatically stops inflating and starts deflating the air. The actual
measuring process starts.
•
As soon as the device can measure a pulse beat, this is indicated by a
flashing pulse beat display
(8).
