6.9 Instructing the patient
Explain to the patient how the device works (automatic blood pressure
measurement at regular intervals) and make the following points:
• Stay calm during the measurement, so that there will be no
incorrect readings as a result of any movement by the patient;
• During the night, it is best to place the PhysioQuant Recorder in its
carrier bag on the bedside table;
• It is possible to manually switch between the day phase and the
night phase;
• Record any unusual events in the patient diary (master copy on
CD) and also carry out an additional measurement with the
Start/Stop button if this happens;
• At any time, measurement can be interrupted via the Start/Stop
button. Cuff pressure will then decrease;
• Do not open the battery compartment.
Important guidelines for patients:
• Cancel the measurement with the Start/Stop button, if the cuff
remains inflated for more than approx. 2 minutes;
• Take off the cuff if it remains inflated after pressing the Start/Stop
button. It may be that the tube has been disconnected;
• Further measurements should only be carried out after the cuff has
been correctly attached again.
