Patient Information - operation of the ABPM 7100
Measurement process
During the first measurement, the cuff is inflated in increments, to determine the cuff pressure required to measure
the systolic blood pressure value. This maximum required inflation pressure is stored and applied by direct inflation
during the subsequent automatic measurements. The patient should stay calm during the measurement process,
until the measurement is completed. Allow your arm to hang loose, or place your lower arm loosely on the table or
on a support whilst sitting. Avoid any movement! In the event of a failed measurement a new measurement is
performed automatically according to the measurement process described above.
Cancelling a measurement
A measurement will be cancelled by pressing any buttons during the measurement process causing the cuff to be
quickly deflated automatically. The LCD display will then show "-StoP-" and the ABPM 7100 will beep 5 times. This
cancellation will be stored in the measurement value table under Cancel.
Acoustic signals
The acoustic signals produced by the device consist of single or multiple tones. The following tones are produced:

mmHg for more than 10 seconds)
Troubleshooting
An error code appears on the display of the ABPM 7100 for a few seconds in the event of a measurement or system
error. The help information below explains what to do for each error code:
