When you want to take your patient's blood pressure using the auscultatory method
with a stethoscope, set the device to "MANUAL" mode.
Turn on the device by pressing "
I" side of MAIN POWER SWITCH.
Move MODE SELECTOR upward and set the device to "MANUAL".
See page 13 for “AUTO” measurement.
Set the initial inflation value with PRESET PRESSURE KNOB.
Details on preset pressure … page 13.
Press SET/MEMORY button to confirm and/or select the
appropriate deflation rate.
The deflation rate is displayed at the lower right corner of the
segment display.
The deflation rate can be selected from 2.5, 4.5 and 6.5 mmHg/s.
The set deflation rate returns to the default value (2.5) when the
device is turned off.
Turn off the device by pressing "O" side of MAIN POWER SWITCH.
The device will go to the energy saver mode after approximately
3 minutes if it is not turned off. See page 10.
Make sure your patient is relaxed, has taken at least 5 minutes of rest before measure-
ment and refrains from talking or moving during measurement.
Confirm that the cuff is kept at the height of patient's heart during measurement.
Do not execute repeated measurements for congestion of blood could result in false
measurement. Allow the patient's arm to rest for at least 5 minutes.
