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.
3. Press Clear to ensure that any previous
measurements are cleared from the BpTRU’s
memory.
4. Select Automatic mode by pressing the Cycle
button until the cycle time you want (i.e., the
interval between BP measurements) shows in the
Cycle display. (“SP” indicates a single
measurement.)
5. Initiate the series of measurements by pressing the
BP Start button.
During each measurement, the cuff will inflate to the
minimum required preset pressure level. While inflating
and deflating, the Systolic display indicates the cuff
pressure.
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.
During the series of measurements, the Reading display
shows the number of the measurement currently being
taken. The most recent Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse
measurements are shown in the respective displays until
the next measurement begins.
If you select a one or two minute cycle time and the
patient’s blood pressure is high, any individual
measurement may take longer than one or two minutes.
