4. PERFORMING BP MEASUREMENTS IN DIFFERENT
MEASUREMENT MODES

4.1 STANDARD BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT (1X)

4.1.1 Select the standard BP measurement mode by pressing repeatedly the Mode button (2)
until 1x (30) appears on the display.
4.1.2 Press the Start/Stop button (3) to start the measurement.
4.1.3 The cuff will now pump up automatically. The inflation is indicated by the blinking cuff
inflation symbol (28). The patient should relax, should not move and should not tense his
arm muscles until the measurement result is displayed. He should breathe normally
and not talk.
4.1.4 When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the pressure falls
gradually. The deflation is indicated by the blinking cuff deflation symbol (27). If the
required pressure was not reached, the device will automatically pump some more air
into the cuff.
4.1.5 During the measurement, the pulse indicator (25) flashes in the display and a beep
sound appears each time a heartbeat is detected.
4.1.6 The result, comprising the systolic (17) and the diastolic (18) blood pressure, pulse rate (19) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (22). The results of pulse rate and mean arterial
pressure alternating appear on the display every 2 seconds.
4.1.7 When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
4.1.8 Switch off the device (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).
Note:
- Manual inflation: If the systolic blood pressure of a patient is known to be very high, it is
possible to set the pressure individually. Press the Plus button (5) after the monitor has
been pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the button
pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.
- Manual rapid cuff deflation: Press and hold the Minus button (6) when you want to deflate
the cuff rapidly.
- You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button (e.g. if your
patient feel uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).

4.2 TRIPLE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT (3X)

4.2.1 Select the triple BP measurement mode by pressing repeatedly the Mode button (2) until
3x (31) appears on the display.
4.2.2 Press the Start/Stop button (3) to start the measurement.
