heartbeat during this procedure, if you did not switch off the beep function before-
hand. At the same time, the pulse symbol apflashes.
5. Once the measurement has been taken, the sleeve suddenly deflates and a longer-
beep sounds.
6. The measured valuesam ,an and ao are shown on the display, together with the
JNC7 blood pressure bar displaybm . At the same time, a longer beep sounds.
7. If the unit detects an arrhythmia during the measuring process, the arrhythmia
symbol ar will flash eight times while the reading is displayed. You may also
hear 8 short beeps; these warn the user of an irregular heartbeat.
8. If you do not press any buttons for approx. 1 minute, the device automatically
switches to standby mode.
3MAM measuring method
(3 consecutive measurements to calculate an average value)
To take a single measurement, you have to switch on the device using the ON/OFF
switch V and be in standby mode. You have selected the 3MAM measuring method
(see section 3, subsection 3.6). You first have to complete any settings you require as
per section 3, subsections 3.3, 3.5 and 3.7.
1. Press the START button w. The device carries out a self test. Once this is
complete, “ “ appears on the display. 5 short beeps sound during the procedure.On
the display, you can see bk (average) and “ 1 “ for the first measurement.
2. Next, the sleeve u automatically inflates until the pressure required for a
measurement has been reached. Alternatively, you can create this pressure manually
by pressing and holding the START button w after the device has automatically
reached a pressure of at least 30 mmHg. When you think that the device has
reached the ideal starting pressure for a measurement, release the START button
w. The increasing pressure is displayed numerically.
3. The measuring process begins automatically when inflation is complete by releasing
the pressure built up in the cuff. The display shows the currentpressure in the cuff.
4. Initially, deflation occurs at a constant speed. The pulse symbol ap appears on
the display. As soon as the pulse can be determined, deflation is synchronised with
the beating of the heart until the measurement ends. The device beeps for each
heartbeat during this procedure, if you did not switch off the beep function before-
hand. At the same time, the pulse symbol ap flashes.
