Preparing the patient
Patient instructions
Advise the patient on how to cope with mis-operation and contingencies.
Cautions during automatic measurement
Relax and be quiet, when the recorder starts inflating the cuff.
Check the patient's blood pressure in the same posture as the measurement.
Minimize noise and movement for the measurements.
The recorder measures the patient's blood pressure within one minute after the
measurement. Also, relax and be quiet during measurement. The maximum
measurement time is 90 seconds.
There is the case of re-measuring the blood pressure during the last measurement.
This is in case the recorder did not acquire usable data and the frequency of the
interval is above 8 minutes. The patient should relax and not move during the
measurement.
Stop the use, if the patient feels pain in his arm.
Stopping or canceling an automatic measurement
When the patient is to stop a measurement, press the START STOP key. The
recorder beeps, releases the cuff air and an error is displayed. The recorder will
inflate the cuff for the next time period automatically.
When the AUTO ON/OFF key is pressed and held for approx. 3 seconds, the
recorder stops (re-starts) automatic measurement and the "A" disappears
(appears). This key operation can select alternately.
Manual measurement
For the patient to start a measurement at once, press the START STOP key.
For the patient to stop this measurement, press the START STOP key.
Attention while attaching the cuff and recorder
Do not drop or shock the recorder.
The recorder and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from
wetting the recorder and cuff.
Do not place anything on the recorder.
Re-attach the cuff and recorder, when patient moves and they will not slip off.
Prevent the air hose from breaking during sleep. Affix the air hose to the patient's
body only as shown on page 24.
Replacing the batteries
Replace with new batteries quickly, when "B" is displayed.
