Single BP Measurements (Single Mode)
This section describes how to obtain a single blood
pressure measurement. Begin by positioning the patient
and attaching the cuff as described in “Obtaining
Accurate BP Measurements” on page 16.
The blood pressure cuff should not be used on the
same arm as an IV or any other medical equipment
that relies on the circulatory system distal to the cuff.
Avoid compressing or restricting the coiled tubing,
which may restrict inflation or deflation of the cuff
and cause mechanical failure of the tubing.
Take the Single BP Measurement
1. Press Clear to ensure that any previous
measurements are cleared from the BpTRU’s
memory.
2. Select Manual mode by pressing the Cycle button
until “SP” is displayed in the Cycle display.
3. Initiate a single blood pressure measurement by
pressing the BP Start button.
The cuff will inflate to the 180 mmHg pressure level, and
then may inflate by 30 mmHg increments as required to
obtain an accurate BP result. During inflation and
deflation, the Systolic display indicates the cuff pressure.
