BpTRU Operator’s Manual
20
Initiate rapid deflation of the cuff at any time by
pressing the Stop button or turning off the power.
It is important for the patient to remain still and not talk
during inflation and deflation of the cuff.
Once the measurement is complete, the cuff quickly
deflates and the Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse displays
show the appropriate readings.
You can initiate the next measurement in Manual mode
by pressing the BP Start button again. Wait five seconds
after the completion of a measurement before pressing
the BP Start button to allow circulation in the patient’s
arm and to allow the cuff to fully deflate. The BpTRU
will not start a new measurement until the cuff is fully
deflated.
Series of Measurements (Automatic Mode)
Automatic mode performs a series of six blood pressure
measurements, discarding the first and averaging the
remaining five. The interval between measurements is
1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 minutes, depending on your selection.
Individual readings are displayed after each
measurement, and the individual and averaged readings
can be reviewed during or after the series of
measurements (refer to “Reviewing Measurements” on
page 22).
1. Select a cuff that is appropriate for the patient. Refer
to “Select an Appropriate Size of Cuff” on page 16
2. Apply the cuff to the patient. Refer to “Position the
Patient Carefully” on page 17 and “Apply the Cuff”
on page 18.
