4.4. Taking a measurement
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned
the measurement can begin. Remain still during
your measurement, do not flex muscles, and
refrain from talking.
a) Remain seated quietly for 5 minutes before you
begin the measurement.
b) Press the START button. After the system
check, the monitor displays OK and the pump
begins to inflate the cuff. On the display, the
increasing cuff pressure is continually shown.
c) After automatically reaching an individual
pressure, the pump stops and the pressure will
deflate slowly. The cuff pressure is displayed
during the measurement.
d) When the device has detected your pulse, the
heart symbol in the display begins to blink.
e)
When the measurement has been concluded, the
air will automatically release from the cuff. The
measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure
values, as well as the pulse, are now displayed.
f
) The measurement results are displayed until you
switch the device off. If no button is pressed for
1 minute, the device switches off automatically.
g) When the unit is set to the MAM (Microlife
Averaging Mode) setting, 3 separate measure-
ments will take place in succession, after which
your result is calculated and displayed as a
single, averaged measurement (individual
results are not displayed). There is a 15 second
resting time between each measurement. A
count-down indicates the remaining time
between measurements.
If one of the measurements causes an error
message, it will be repeated one more time. If
any additional error occurs, the measurement
will be discontinued and error code displayed.
