Beurer BM 28 - Evaluating Results

• To carry out a blood pressure measurement, make sure
you are sitting comfortably with your arms and back lean-
ing on something. Do not cross your legs. Place your feet
flat on the ground.
• To avoid falsifying the measurement, it is important to
remain still during the measurement and not to speak.
Performing the blood pressure measurement
• As described above, attach the cuff and adopt the pos-
ture in which you want to perform the measurement.
• Start the blood pressure monitor with the START/STOP
button
. After the full-screen display, the respective
alarm symbols are displayed if alarm 1 / 2 is acti-
vated.
• The cuff automatically inflates. The cuff’s air pressure is
slowly released. If you already recognise a tendency for
high blood pressure, you should reinflate the cuff and
increase the cuff’s pressure again. As soon as a pulse is
found, the pulse symbol
will be displayed.
• The cuff position control symbol is displayed
throughout the entire measurement. If the cuff is ap-
plied too tightly or too loosely, then
and “ ” are
displayed. In such cases, the measurement is cancelled
after approx. 5 seconds and the device switches itself off.
Apply the cuff correctly and take a new measurement.
• The systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse rate
measurements are displayed. A symbol is displayed to
indicate whether you were sufficiently relaxed during the
blood pressure measurement (
1
2
= sufficiently at rest;
1
2
= not at rest). Observe the chapter on interpreting
results/measuring the resting indicator in these instruc-
tions for use.
• You can cancel the measurement at any time by pressing
the START/STOP button .
• _ appears if the measurement has not been performed
properly. Observe the chapter on error messages/trou-
bleshooting in these instructions for use and repeat the
measurement.
• Now select the desired user memory by pressing the
memory button M. If you do not select a user memory,
the measurement is stored in the most recently used user
memory. The relevant , , or symbol appears on
the display.
• To switch off, press the START/STOP button . If you
forget to turn off the device, it will switch itself off auto-
