Caution
Make sure the cuff is wrapped in the correct arm position and is at the same height as the heart.
A difference of 10 cm (4 inches) in height may cause a variation in the blood pressure value of up to
7 - 8 mmHg.
Note:
• If measurement is difficult due to arrhythmia, use a different blood pressure measurement method.
• If the patient has acute inflammation, a pyogenic ailment, or an external wound at the location where
the cuff is to be wrapped, follow the instructions of the doctor.
• Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) measurement is performed by compressing the upper arm.
Some people may experience intense pain, or transient spotting caused by subcutaneous hemorrhaging
may appear. The spotting will disappear over time, however, if it is possible that this will disturb the patient,
try the following technique:
- Wrap a thin towel or cloth (one layer) under the cuff.
If the towel or cloth is too thick, there will be insufficient cuff compression and the blood pressure value
will measure high.
• If the patient moves or the cuff is touched, this may be falsely detected as a pulse and over-inflation
will occur.
• Do not inflate the cuff when it is not wrapped on the upper arm. This may damage the cuff.
Taking the Measurement in "Manual Mode"
1. Press the [START/STOP] button.
Blood pressure measurement is performed once.
2. The measurement results are displayed.
If a measurement value is outside the corresponding range below, the value will flash.
SYS: 59 mmHg or less, or 251 mmHg or higher.
DIA: 39 mmHg or less, or 201 mmHg or higher.
PULSE: 39 bpm or less, or 201 bpm or higher.
Normal measurement
Caution
The accuracy of a flashing measurement value that is outside the measurement range is not
guaranteed. Always check the patient's condition before deciding what steps to take.
Note:
If inflation is insufficient, inflation may restart automatically while measurement is in progress.
