TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING
6. Begin taking your measurement by first inflating the cuff using the
attached inflation bulb. Using your right hand, squeeze and release
the bulb at a steady pace. The inflation pressure should reach 50-60
mmHg above your normal systolic pressure; if the pressure in the
cuff is insufficient, an upward arrow will flash on the display.
Continue to steadily inflate the cuff. When the unit beeps, cease
inflating the cuff.
7. The cuff will begin to automatically deflate; the display will begin to
show the decreasing pressure while you feel the pressure of the cuff
decrease.
8. Your blood pressure measurement and pulse will display
simultaneously on the screen, Fig 5. Both the systolic and diastolic
readings will display at the same time.
9. The Hypertension Indicator will indicate your reading range in the
left side of the display, Fig 6. See page 16 for a chart interpreting the
Hypertension Indicator results.
10. If an irregular heartbeat was detected during the reading, the
Irregular Heartbeat Detector will appear on the display, Fig 7. See
page 15 for more information on the Irregular Heartbeat Detector
indicator feature.
11. The reading will automatically be stored in memory, up to 60
readings.
12. Select
POWER button to turn the unit off and conserve energy and
battery life. The unit will automatically shut-off and revert to
time/date mode after approximately 1 minute.
13. Disconnect the cuff and tubing from the monitor prior to storing.
NOTE: You can stop the inflation or deflation process at any time by pressing
the POWER button.
