Taking Your Blood Pressure
5. Press the START button. Your average blood pressure reading
will appear with the number of measurements stored in memory (i.e.
A25 = total of 25 measurements stored in memory) and a ashing
symbol, indicating that monitor is ready for measurement.
NOTE: If the symbol is displayed, the cuff
has some air trapped in it. Press the exhaust
valve button until the symbol is displayed.
You may have to press on the cuff while
holding the exhaust valve to release all the
air in the cuff.
6. When the symbol is displayed, begin cuff ination by squeezing
the inator bulb repeatedly. It may take a few seconds for the
symbol to appear.
7. Stop squeezing the inator bulb when symbol disappears or until
cuff pressure reaches about 30 mmHg to 40 mmHg above expected
systolic pressure. If inating to a level above your expected systolic
pressure, we recommend using the chart shown below to determine
your ination level.
Usual Systolic Inate to
Up to 130 160
131-170 200
171-210 240
211-250 280
