d) When the device has detected the pulse,
the heart symbol in the display begins to
blink.
e) When the measurement has been con-
cluded, air in the cuff is released. The
measured systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values as well as the pulse are
now displayed. (Pulse=number of heart-
beats each minute) Example (Fig.): Sys-
tolic 118, Diastolic 73, Pulse 75. The
measurement results are displayed for
about one minute.
5.5. Stopping a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure
measurement for any reason (e.g., the patient
feels unwell), the POWER button can be pressed
at any time. The device then immediately lowers
the cuff pressure automatically and enters into
sleep mode.
